Look into flights to find cuts (9)
I believe the answer is:
escalopes
'cuts' is the definition.
(escalope is a kind of cut)
'look into flights' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'flights' becomes 'escapes' ('escape' can be a synonym of 'flight').
'lo' inserted within 'escapes' is 'ESCALOPES'.
'to find' is the link.
(Other definitions for escalopes that I've seen before include "Boneless slices of meat" , "fillets" .)
