Brief Answer:
can travel by 3 to 4 weeks so it is safe
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You have crossed the threshold for most of the precautions with regard to the hysterectomy.
The last caution is heavy lifting and this is at 4 weeks though it can be extended to 6 weeks with abdominal hysterectomy
Flying is ok by 3 to 4 weeks, since your procedure was 4 weeks ago, this is fine.
You can safely travel.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
