The Rules Committee will now waive a specific section of the Senate's travel regulations, loosening it up so members would be able to use their office funds to pay for the flights. The change lifts the rule that the "Charter of aircraft may be allowed notwithstanding the availability of commercial facilities, if such commercial facilities are not such that reasonable schedules may be kept."

Now, if a senator needs to take a private flight, they will be able to use their office funds – formally the Senator's Official Personnel and Office Expense Account, a discretionary pot of money that each member has to support their official and representational duties.
