My week-long business trip to Oulu, Finland is over. I went from the hotel downtown to the airport with my trusty Bompton bicycle and my trailer, to catch my flight and go back home. It's only 10 miles away so it makes no sense to rent a car just for that.

In this video, you can see me arriving at the airport with my suitcase in tow, and my hand luggage on the front pannier rack. After 20 minutes, the trailer kit is disassembled, the pannier rack, the Brompton, cycling clothes, satnav and a bunch of other stuff are packed up inside the suitcase, so I'm left with only two pieces of airline-approved luggage.

In reality, it only takes 10 to 15 minutes to pack up the Brompton and cycling gear, but I also brought back two bottles of delicious Terva schnapps that I had a hard time finding room for in the suitcase, so it took me a little while longer to figure it out :)
