- Im looking for a chat app that I can use with others mid flight. Ideally id be able to send them the apk to install while in flightmode (with Bluetooth) - Yes we are too cheap to pay for seats together. But in our defence we fly alot.

And Alot is very proud of your frugality.

I know you’re looking for a technical solution but have you considered just yelling across the cabin at each other?

[–] abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es 9 points 1 month ago

@Gayhitler Oh yeah .. we also considered both sign language and private jets but the couldn't agree on what type of either.

@Gayhitler For some flights i request a lap belt and ask to sit on his neighbours lap for the duration.

This is the way.

Of course #briar I knew I downloaded that for a reason.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

indeed. it will serve you well in many, many... situations.

I can report that our test of Briar worked perfectly.. (Except it was accidentally called Brian at some point.. ) I can see that sticking. - Our test was somewhat short circuited by #Ryanair's decision to actually seat us together in an #exitrow for once. #extralegroom baby!

I think Briar can do that

There’s Meshtastic/LORA if you also like getting yelled at by airport security lol

Scuttlebutt?

Even though there are really good open source app but I'll not recommend this as Bluetooth itself is very very insecure
