Do you mean airplane mode (as in the user has flicked the Settings switch to Airplane mode on) or just whether any internet connection exists at this moment?

Sorry Yann - I could not resist this one.
Q: How can you tell if your device is in airplane mode?
A: Throw it as high as you can into the air.
If it is in airplane mode it will sprout wings and fly – like this:
If it crashes back to earth like this – then it is not in airplane mode.

Mark, if you don't mind, I will try your last suggestion later 
A better question could be: "In a form view template or ECL script, how can we test that we can currently reach the LongRange server?"

No easy way to do that right now.
We'll add a function to do that in the next release.
