Raise RAF being jittery about flying costs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airfares

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

'flying costs' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'raise raf being jittery' is the wordplay.
'being jittery' indicates anagramming the letters.
'raise'+'raf'='raiseraf'
'raiseraf' anagrammed gives 'AIRFARES'.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for airfares that I've seen is " Costs for flyers".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
