Nothing's better than travelling, but before departure here comes every single backpacker's nightmare: packing!

That's why at the airport sweat and tears check-ins are rather ordinary, and although you jump on your suitcase, there's no way you're gonna close it. If you miracolously happen to succeed in closing your suitcase, you will still have troubles in having it fit into the dedicated cabin baggage compartment...
