[Description]:
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 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.
