Bluetooth chat app for flights

- 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.

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

@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.

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!

Take the train instead!

@callcc Would love to ...cant wait for a true highspeed #paris - #barcelona or #paris - #madrid service. With better #crossborderrail we might even get to sit next to each other. #europeansleeper might even get us in the same bed. Imagine #London to Barcelona overnight. Id probably almost never sleep at home

Same! Can't believe I can get to Paris in 90 minutes from the Netherlands, but 11 hours to Barcelona!

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

I think Briar can do that

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