Look thoroughly for listeners where flights are accommodated (9)
I believe the answer is:
stairwell
'where flights are accommodated' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'look thoroughly for listeners' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'air' (something might have a certain air or look).
'thoroughly' becomes 'well' (I've seen this in another clue).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'listeners' becomes 'st' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'air'+'well'='airwell'
'airwell' put after 'st' is 'STAIRWELL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stairwell that I've seen before include "where flights may be found" , "where flight goes" , "where flight is located" , "Vertical shaft between floors" , "Walking route between floors" .)
