four star

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

'it's first class' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'for us travelling with jack' is the wordplay.
'travelling' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'jack' becomes 'tar' (both are informal terms for sailor).
'for'+'us'='forus'
'forus' is an anagram of 'fours'.
'fours'+'tar'='FOUR-STAR'

Can you help me to learn more?
