Due to impending Winter Storm Juno, which is expected to dump some 20 to 30 inches of snow on the Greater Boston Area, some airlines are waiving their change fees to allow people to easily reschedule their flights.

The conditions created by Juno are expected to be white-out, meaning travel is thought to be “impossible and life threatening” and nearly every major airline is offering the waiver as of Sunday night.

According to USA TODAY, “The details vary by airline, but most allow passengers flying through to or through the Northeast to make one itinerary change without paying the standard change fee.”

For customers wishing to make alternate travel arrangements without penalty, a wavier for Boston is covered only on Tuesday, Jan. 27. for Air Canada travel.

But Boston is also covered for the following:

  • Alaska Airlines: Ticket reissue for flights on Jan. 26 to 27 for one ticket change. New travel must occur by Jan. 30.
  • America Airlines & US Airways: Ticket reissue charge will be waived for one ticket change
  • Delta Air Lines: one-time change to tickets without fee to travel by Jan. 30. For travel after that date, the change fee will be waived, but Delta may charge the difference in fare for a new ticket.
  • JetBlue: Ticket reissue charge will be waived for one ticket change. New travel must occur by Jan. 30.
  • Porter Airlines: In most scenarios, customers may make one change without penalty.
  • Southwest Airlines:  Will let customers headed to/from the above airports make one change to their itinerary without recalculating the cost of the ticket. Customers choosing that option must travel within 14 days of their original travel date and travel between the original city pairs
  • Spirit Airlines: Ticket reissue charge will be waived for one ticket change. New travel must occur by Feb. 3. After this date the change fee is waived, but a fare difference may apply.
  • United Airlines: Make a one-time change to tickets without fee to travel Jan. 30. For all other dates and ticket uses, the change fee will be waived, but a difference in fare may apply
  • Virgin America: Guests with confirmed flights to or from the above airports on Jan. 27 may change their travel dates by Jan. 27 without paying change fees or the difference in fares for new travel on Jan. 25-26 or Jan. 28-31. Guests may also cancel their itineraries without incurring cancellation fees.
