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

'papers around in person's bag as flying?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'papers around in person's bag as flying?' is the wordplay.
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identifying documents are one's 'papers').
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'flying?' indicates anagramming the letters (letters fly around into new positions).
'id' back-to-front is 'di'.
'persons'+'bag'+'as'='personsbagas'
'personsbagas' anagrammed gives 'boarngpasses'.
'di' going into 'boarngpasses' is 'BOARDING PASSES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for boarding passes that I've seen is " Tickets for getting onto aircraft".)
