I don't believe that there is. That said, it probably wouldn't help in this case. You can easily turn on Airplane Mode and then turn on WiFi and/or Bluetooth (i.e. you can still have a working internet connection even if Airplane Mode is on). As always, it is recommended to test for specific functionality (i.e. use reachability in this case) rather than reading settings and trying to interpret what each of their possible permutations actually means.
