wide-bodies
Twin-aisle passenger jets
Wide-bodies are aircraft with twin aisles and a fuselage wide enough for passengers to sit seven or more abreast: The airline uses wide-bodies for transatlantic routes.
The term distinguishes larger planes like the Boeing 747 or Airbus A380 from narrow-body single-aisle aircraft.
Informally and disparagingly, wide-bodies can refer to overweight people.
