Big names catching international flight (6)
I believe the answer is:
stairs
'flight' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'big names catching international' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'international' could be 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'stars' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stairs that I've seen before include "4 and 8 (to the cockney)" , "Ascending flight of steps" , "Series of steps" , "A flight of indoor steps" , "A set of rising steps" .)
