Look left on plane for its destination (7)

I believe the answer is:

airport

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

'plane for its destination' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'look left on' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'air' (something might have a certain air or look).
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'air'+'port'='AIRPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airport that I've seen before include "Transport hub" , "Heathrow, for example" , "Aviation complex" , "See 18" , "Pair rot badly in the transport terminal" .)
