Does Apple Pay work without data or internet?

Can you pay at a retailer with Apple pay when your cellular data is off on your device? What about if it's in airplane mode?

You do not need any type of internet connection, be it cell data or Wifi to use Apple Pay in stores.

Apple Pay in stores uses the NFC chip (Near Field Communications) to transfer the payment information to the store's terminal. There is no internet connection required.
