you will not be able to board if your ID doesn't exactly reflect your details"

Do they care about an apostrophe though? I can see any punctuation being a problem.

I had to convince people to let me on board a plane because my name contain a swedish letter (å). Their computer system translated it into "aa", which then didn't match my passport.
