welcome to Health care magic.
1.It looks like there is no problem to travel, more over just 2 hours.
2.Take antibiotic course to avoid septic changes.
3.Keep the area dry.
4.If there is any chance keep your feet uplifted.
5.Check your BP before flight, if not diabetic - nothing to worry much, it will heal soon.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
