Yes: There is really no contraindication to flying the day after wisdom teeth are pulled

Probably not a great: air pressure can effect the clot formation. The more surgery needed to extract the greater the effect. 3-4 days would be better.

Not recommended: The pressure associated with flying doesn't impact your clotting or post surgery wounds and flying provided no additional discomfort. However, with any type of oral surgery there is always the possibility of a longer recovery or complications.
