twin-aisle
Two parallel passenger walkways
Twin-aisle describes aircraft with two parallel walkways running the length of the passenger cabin, with seats arranged in three sections rather than two.
These wide-body planes—like the Boeing 777 or Airbus A350—are used for long-haul international flights and high-capacity routes: We flew twin-aisle from LA to Tokyo.
