Is ok to go on a 2 hour flight if you have an hernia??

Yes, riding in a modern pressurized aircraft is the same environment as you would have on the ground.

Yes, as long as you are not doing anything to strain the hernia and you do not cause yourself any pain in the process, it is OK to fly on a commercial airliner. See your doctor or a surgeon to get the hernia repaired or at least evaluated as soon as you can. Good luck.
