return ticket

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'back pass?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'back pass?' is the wordplay.
'back' becomes 'return' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pass?' becomes 'ticket' (pass is a kind of ticket).
'return'+'ticket'='RETURN TICKET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for return ticket that I've seen before include "Permit for round trip" , "No single" , "Two-way journey pass" , "Homeward passage" , "homing device?" .)
