Reached airport too early? Getting bored? This EaseMyTrip app lets you chat with passengers even without internet

Domestic passenger flights resumed in India on Monday after a gap of two months and the country saw around 600 services on the same day. The Delhi airport saw its first departure at 4.45 am to Pune while Mumbai airport's first departure was at 6.45 am to Patna. But, as passengers have been asked to reach the airport minimum 2 hours prior to the departure of flight, the flyers might feel bored sitting idle as most shops are closed and people are maintaining social distance as well.

Interestingly, this chat technology does not need internet, it works on Bluetooth & connects people nearby to chat with each other.
