Settle the charges for air freight (8)
I believe the answer is:
payloads
'for air freight' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'settle the charges' is the wordplay.
'settle' becomes 'pay' (paying is a kind of settling).
'the charges' becomes 'loads' (I've seen this before).
'pay'+'loads'='PAYLOADS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for payloads that I've seen is " warheads?".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
