Distance will help, but I imagine the plane would have to be absurdly large. The reduction in radiation exposure from each additional foot of distance will go down the farther out you go, and at some point, the additional fuselage will weigh more than the equivalent shielding. It wouldn't surprise me if that point was not all that far out.
