Q. If the name printed on my boarding pass is different than what appears
on my government ID, will I still be able to fly?

[snip]
Small differences between the passenger's ID the passenger's reservation
information, and the boarding pass (such as the use of a middle initial
instead of a full middle name or no middle name/initial at all, hyphens or
apostrophes) should not cause a problem for the passenger.

This is the stuff of nightmares - not to mention enormous frustration and
possible stomach ulcers. If you have an apostrophe in your name - like many
of Irish descent do - you may find it impossible to board an airplane in
the
coming months. Why? Because airline computers can't print an apostrophe on
the boarding pass, the name on your boarding pass will not exactly match
the
name on your driver's license or passport. And beginning next year, the two
must match or you don't fly. And they call this progress. CJB.
