Airmen are finally cleared to wear the Airman Battle Uniform while flying commercially in the continental U.S.

Though airmen are still encouraged to wear blue service uniforms when crisscrossing the country on official business, they can now don the tiger-stripe Airman Battle Uniform, first widely distributed last year, without breaking regulation.

Wearing the discontinued but still ubiquitous Battle Dress Uniform, or the desert camouflage when appropriate, is also permissible.

Wearing flight suits is not.

Generally, airmen on business can wear civilian clothes as well, though commanders have the authority to restrict this privilege.
