I think I will go out to the airport and actually check there before I buy a ticket. I feel that if I call a call center, the representative might say one thing and the actual ground crew at the airport would say something else.

To get a Real ID would cost $29.00 to get birth certificate, $30.00 to get the application notarized to send in to get birth certificate, and then, the actual Real ID costs $54.00. My brother has been living in a homeless shelter in Spokane for the last year, it's a Union Gospel Mission Shelter that is designed for recovering addicts. He is not an addict but the religion and the structure was perfect for him, it gave him a roof over his head and 3 daily meals. He does his daily chores and they love him at the shelter! His SSDI got approved last month and his daughter and ex-wife want him in Colorado. Health wise and mentally he has been through hell this last year. Besides being a four shot a day diabetic, he was finally diagnosed in May with severe chronic pancreatitis and takes creon every time he eats anything. Having chronic explosive diarrhea for months is not a walk in the park... He is needed in Colorado, sooner rather than later, so I don't think I have the time to go through the application process, besides his benefits don't start until October. So if they say he can't fly, I guess it will be a Greyhound bus.
