I would always re-zero upon flying.
You're traveling all the way to PA, no point being cheap or lazy about it. |

Like Greg said, you're going to spend the time and money to go to Pa, so take the time to get to a local range before you head into the woods. Picnic table, sandbag, and half a dozen rounds and you should be good to go. First cluster in a corner, then center bullseye after adjustments. Have a chart with you to adjust for yardage vs what you have at the range ie. range is 50 yds and you are sighting for 200. Then you will only have to compensate for windage and elevation. Don't want to be questioning the gunsight when you might only have one shot...

I agree with Greg, doesn't matter if you were flying or driving to another state, always sight in the gun when you get there. If you are going to a ranch, they will have a range for you....
