Are you actually logged in to those unwanted apps? If so, you can simply log out of them and it should no longer notify you of messages and such. If you want to stay logged in (disabling them, if possible, would log you out and possibly delete the app data), then check the app settings and there should be ways to turn off notifications.

You can do that in a few ways... You can set up your phone to Do Not Disturb and that will 'kill' all notifications (or you can set your own exceptions to let some come through). You can also set the apps you don't want to be notified about to be have their background data restricted, but that will also take effect even when you're not on Airplane mode. You can also download 3rd party apps that manage notifications (like Lightflow) as some allow you to set 'profiles', disabling/customizing certain notifications depending on which profile is active.

Or just simply disable notifications for the apps in question...
