'a foreigner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'see behaving oddly on the plane trip' is the wordplay.
'behaving oddly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'trip' is an anagram indicator.
'see' with letters rearranged gives 'ese'.
'plane' is an anagram of 'nepal'.
'ese' put after 'nepal' is 'NEPALESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nepalese that I've seen before include "from Asia" , "foreign" , "High Country people" , "From Kathmandu?" , "High-up person perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
