Due to the baggage restrictions by Allegiant Air, I am pretty sure I can't declare my 30L backpack as the "free personal item" (16"x15"x7"). Nonetheless, I may be able to compress the backpack along with some clothes into an appropriately sized parcel. I have actually never seen someone doing this, therefore I am asking if this may lead to check-in difficulties.
