Is it safe to fly in a couple days if i had spontaneous pnm in mid-november? (never id'd a definite cause but ct suggested macklin phenomenon.)

Should be OK: Flying should be ok 2-3 weeks after resolution of pneumothorax so you should be ok.

Yes: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum or macklin's phenomenon is a benign, if poorly understood entity. There is no known single cause or treatment, and flying is not likely to cause a recurrence.
