Yes, you can travel on your UK passport, they probably won't even ask about it. If they do, direct them to the I94 in your passport.

Good luck

There is no passport control on domestic flights. You just get off the plane, get your luggage, and walk out of the airport. Only flights arriving from a foreign country go through the immigration hall.

You will need some form of identification though. Usually a drivers license or a state id. Your passport should be fine too.

I've never shown ID to get off the plane or leave the airport on a domestic flight.

Yeah, I think the poster meant for the purposes of getting on the plane (i.e. through security and to check against your ticket that you are who you say you are). Other than that, you're free to roam!

Total elapsed time between filing I-129F to GC in hand 569 days or 1 Year, 6 months, 22 days.
