# Time:  O(t! / (n1! * n2! * ... nk!)), t is the total number of tickets,
#                                       ni is the number of the ticket which from is city i,

# Space: O(t)

# Given a list of airline tickets represented by pairs of departure
# and arrival airports [from, to], reconstruct the itinerary in order.
# All of the tickets belong to a man who departs from JFK.
# Thus, the itinerary must begin with JFK.
#
# Note:
# If there are multiple valid itineraries, you should return the itinerary
# that has the smallest lexical order when read as a single string.
# For example, the itinerary ["JFK", "LGA"] has a smaller lexical
# order than ["JFK", "LGB"].
# All airports are represented by three capital letters (IATA code).
# You may assume all tickets may form at least one valid itinerary.
# Example 1:
# tickets = [["MUC", "LHR"], ["JFK", "MUC"], ["SFO", "SJC"], ["LHR", "SFO"]]
# Return ["JFK", "MUC", "LHR", "SFO", "SJC"].
# Example 2:
# tickets = [["JFK","SFO"],["JFK","ATL"],["SFO","ATL"],["ATL","JFK"],["ATL","SFO"]]
# Return ["JFK","ATL","JFK","SFO","ATL","SFO"].
# Another possible reconstruction is ["JFK","SFO","ATL","JFK","ATL","SFO"].
# But it is larger in lexical order.
