Morphology
The meaning 'a ticket entitling the holder to travel by airplane' is directly and compositionally derived from 'airplane' (a flying vehicle) + 'ticket' (a document granting travel). This noun+noun combination follows a common and transparent naming pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Airplane ticket comes from the simple picture of a ticket for an airplane — a small paper or pass you show to get on a plane. So it means 'a paper or pass that lets you travel on a specific flight'.
