Brief Answer:
Get a CT scan brain

Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,

I understand your concern.

In any case of head injury presenting with pain ,its always safe to have CT scan f the brain to rule out internal brain injury.

This becomes mandate especially when you have a flight travel near by.

Hence I recommend you to have a non contrast CT Brain .

If this comes out normal you need not worry.

Post your futher queries if any.

Thank you.
