Type of service available en route to popular escape (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inflight

'type of service available en route' is the definition.
(as in inflight entertainment)

'popular escape' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'escape' becomes 'flight' (synonyms).
'in'+'flight'='INFLIGHT'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for inflight that I've seen is " During journey".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
