Nonstop flight to LA with scare in turbulence? (9)
I believe the answer is:
escalator
'nonstop flight' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to la with scare in turbulence?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'la' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'scare' is 'escar' which is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for escalator that I've seen before include "the easy way up" , "Moving stairway" , "Carol eats (anag.)" , "nonstop flight" , "Lift" .)
