Seems like Airplane is the only way to disable network connectivity other than keeping it unplugged so it dies

Tap for spoiler

Edit: found solution (System Settings > Flight Mode > Flight Mode > Wi-Fi (Off), BluetoothR (On)

    The restrictions on RF in aircraft are not based on band, last I heard. Low signal strength might let them slip by, but the question is will staff know that? Are you going to argue with them about it until they remove you from the plane? shrug I’m just saying, if radio signals are the problem, other sources of radio signals are also potentially a problem. Seems like it’d just be easier to use wired/attached/whatever controllers (I don’t own a Switch, I dunno how that works.)

      All airplanes I’ve been in the last decade explicitly allow Bluetooth - and it’s very easy for the staff to see the dozens of people wearing wireless head/earphones. For WiFi it’s usually tied to the existence of on-board Internet.

        Ah, ok. I haven’t flown in probably 15-20 years, so I apparently had old information. My bad.
