A daughter boarding flight for a prank (8)
I believe the answer is:
escapade
'a prank' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a daughter boarding flight' is the wordplay.
'a daughter' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'boarding' indicates putting letters inside.
'flight' becomes 'escape' ('escape' can be a synonym of 'flight'**).
'ad' placed within 'escape' is 'ESCAPADE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for escapade that I've seen before include "Risky lark" , "Risky adventure" , "daring exploit" , "Daring adventure" , "Exciting, perhaps mischievous, adventure" .)
