Crossword Genius

Jet set finally gets to Mars (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

planet

'mars' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'jet set finally' is the wordplay.
'jet' becomes 'plane'.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'set' is 't'.
'plane'+'t'='PLANET'

'gets to' is the link.

(Other definitions for planet that I've seen before include "Mars or Uranus" , "Orbiting body in the heavens" , "Orbiting heavenly body" , "Large satellite of star" , "one of seven in suite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
