His BP is not controlled with whatever medicines he is taking. Take online consultation for the modification of treatment.

Flights usually don't alter body parameters significantly for longer duration in healthy individual. Get your fathers  bp in normal range...which is on significantly higher side. And consult with physician about medication for better control
