widebody

Large commercial jet

A widebody is a large aircraft with a fuselage wide enough to accommodate two passenger aisles, as opposed to narrowbody planes with a single aisle.

These jets, like the Boeing 747 or Airbus A380, typically handle long-haul international routes and carry several hundred passengers.

The term extends informally and often disparagingly to describe a heavyset person: Some widebody cut in front of me at the buffet.
