Having the ticket and the times of the journeys (8)
I believe the answer is:
passages
'the journeys' is the definition.
(passage is a kind of journey)
'having the ticket and the times' is the wordplay.
'having the ticket' becomes 'pass' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the times' becomes 'ages' (age is a kind of time).
'pass'+'ages'='PASSAGES'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for passages that I've seen before include "Corridors, ways through" , "Texts" , "parts of text" , "sections of the speech" , "journeys" .)
