Region finding a way to support cost of travel? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
far east
'region' is the definition.
(Far East is an example)
'a way to support cost of travel?' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st'.
'to support' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters hold others up).
'cost of travel?' becomes 'fare' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'st'='ast'
'ast' put after 'fare' is 'FAR EAST'.
'finding' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for far east that I've seen before include "distant lands" , "China, Korea, Japan, etc" , "Region containing Japan" , "remotest Siberia, perhaps" , "The Orient" .)
