Umm.... two things:
First, why did they continue adventuring with such low resources? The wizard and cleric (or their equivalents) in the party should have put up a heck of a fight when they realized they were getting low on spells, and everyone else wanted to continue to push on. There is such a thing as "let's stop here for the night so I can get my spells back".
Second - why not run away until you can get to a spot with more favorable conditions? Were they fighting on a huge featureless plain, or what? Run under some cover where the air elemental can't fly 20' off the ground, and force it to come after you.
You don't have to be able to fly to fight things that have flight, unless you're in very unfavorable conditions.
