Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, pleurisy takes weeks to settle completely and if its improved and you are having just bearable pain then its great. Yes you can travel but after getting your chest X-ray done and after being sure that your lungs are clear.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
