Jet offering return excursions (5)

I believe the answer is:

spirt

'jet' is the definition.
(I know that jet can be written as spirt)

'return excursions' is the wordplay.
'return' is a reversal indicator.
'excursions' becomes 'trips' (I've seen this before).
'trips' written backwards gives 'SPIRT'.

'offering' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
