Miss flight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escape

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'miss' is the first definition.
(I know that miss can be written as escape)

'flight' is the second definition.
(flight can mean an escape)

(Other definitions for escape that I've seen before include "Abscond, flee" , "Getaway" , "Duck" , "Get free from captivity" , "A key at top, on left" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
