Morphology
The meaning 'a ticket that allows travel on an airplane' is directly and compositionally derived from 'plane' (aircraft) + 'ticket' (travel/document) — a straightforward noun–noun compound indicating the ticket's purpose. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'billete de avión') and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The compound plane ticket comes from the simple image of a small paper ticket for a plane. A 'ticket' has long been a paper that lets you travel, so plane ticket means the pass that lets you 'travel on an airplane' today.
