Are you talking about menstrual bleeding?

If so, it's could just be one of those instances where a woman has ovulated unexpectedly, and it created a period a couple of weeks later. Check in with your doctor if the bleeding doesn't stop in a few more days. It could also be from a fibroid. It seems likely that it's only coincidental that this happened after you flew, neither periods nor bleeding from fibroids are triggered by flying (or the change of cabin pressure, etc.).
