frantic

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

'mad' is the definition.
('frantic' can be a synonym of 'mad')

'father and i can't travel together' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'father' could be 'fra' and 'fra' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'i' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that' is the link.
