All fairly clued. I have one question (not a quibble, as the dicts bear Dante out). Was it my imagination?…that when I was in school, 50+ years ago, we were taught that “artist” was reserved for the visual arts – painting, graphics (stretching the meaning of art a bit), and “artiste” for the performing arts – trapeze artiste, concert artiste, recording artiste. It now seems that the former includes what the latter means as well, while the latter retains its orignal meaning. Someone kind enough to comment? Thanks.

Side = AIRS + Passage = TRIP

Easy!

I also made a note to myself that it was ‘harder than usual’.

Evidently, after giving Sil an easy introductory ride, Dante has now upped his game.

I also opted for AIRSTRIP @ 4a – but I still don’t fully understand the clue. Very un-Dante-like.
