1984 newspaper clippings showing Budget Holidays collapse and UK airline ticket invalidation stories

Two press clippings from October 25-26, 1984, documenting travel industry turmoil. The main story covers Budget Holidays' collapse, stranding 10,000 tourists abroad, while a second article reports the UK government invalidating 130,000 airline tickets due to unauthorized low-fare sales. These events occurred during the period of aviation industry upheaval following Sir Freddie Laker's airline collapse in 1982.
