Glatt is the Yiddish word for smooth.

Meaning that the lungs of the slaughtered animal were inspected for holes, tears or adhesions which would make it treyf

Glatt applies only to mammals and not to fish or fowl.

Not all Jews keep Glatt Kosher and food which is certified kosher is not necessarily Glatt Kosher (Especially important regarding airline food)
