That's a different system, ( https://www.amazon.com/Instapak-Quick-Bag/dp/B0185R54KK shows on the bag how they work ). The high volume machine in this video is MUCH MUCH cheaper per bag, but costs a few grand last time I stumbled across one.
See if you can buy a single one of those somewhere https://www.amazon.com/Instapak-Quick-Bag/dp/B0185R54KK?th=1&psc=1
It's expansive foam inside a closed bag, you put it inside, "inflate" it, and it will grow and become hard enough to protect everything inside the case during transport...
I would suggest using as much padding as possible inside and around the pc case (remove any pcie cards beforehand as mentioned by someone before and maybe even the cpu cooler, if it's a large one). Some thick blankets might do for the outside and for the inside I would suggest something like this probably but in fitting sizes.
Apart from that, pray and good luck.
Seriously. If it's an option, I would rather suggest shipping it with UPS, DHL and the like while still using instapak for the inside but probably better using the case box with the styrofoam padding your case came with for the outside, if you still have it, instead of a suit case.
You should be able to insure your package but I am not sure if that would be possible if you take it with you on the plane.
No personal experiences, just my thoughts.
Your safest bet would be to remove the GPU and pack it separately.
Alternatively I've heard of businesses using expanding foam packaging.
