What Does a Trip Mean In a Car? (An Accurate Guide)

Embarking in a car is more than just reaching a destination; it’s an experience that encompasses the essence of travel, adventure, and self-discovery.

In this article, we will explain what does a trip mean in a car , while exploring the nuances that make it a unique and memorable experience.

From the rhythm of the open road to the unexpected encounters along the way, we will uncover the true meaning of a car trip and how it transcends the mere act of getting from point A to point B.

What does a trip mean in a car

Join us as we embark on this exciting journey, and discover the magic within the simple pleasure of a car trip.

What does a trip mean in a car?

A trip in a car refers to a journey taken using an automobile, usually for leisure, exploration, or reaching a specific destination. It involves traveling on roads and highways, encompassing various distances and durations.

Car trips provide an opportunity to experience diverse landscapes, cultures, and attractions.

They offer flexibility and personalization, allowing travelers to tailor their experience to their preferences and interests. Ultimately, a car trip signifies a mode of travel that combines convenience, adventure, and the freedom to explore at one’s own pace.

What Does Trip A Mean on a Car?

Trip A is a feature on a car’s odometer that tracks the distance traveled for a specific journey, such as the number of miles driven between each fill-up. It helps calculate fuel economy and monitor driving patterns.

Most vehicles also have a Trip B feature, allowing drivers to log two trips on their odometer.

What Does Trip B Mean on a Car?

Trip A on a car’s odometer indicates the distance traveled for a specific journey, such as the miles driven between each fill-up. This feature helps drivers calculate fuel economy and monitor driving patterns. Most vehicles also have a Trip B feature, allowing them to track two journeys on the odometer.

Difference Between Trip Meter A and B

Trip meters A and B are features on a car’s odometer that allow drivers to track the distance traveled for separate journeys. Though they function similarly, they serve different purposes, offering versatility in monitoring various aspects of driving.

Here, we delve into the key differences between trip meters A and B:

Difference Between Trip Meter A and B

Trip Meter A:

  • Trip meter A typically tracks shorter or more frequent journeys, such as daily commutes, errands, or short road trips.
  • It can help calculate fuel economy over a specific period, enabling drivers to monitor their vehicle’s efficiency and adjust their driving habits accordingly.
  • Drivers may reset trip meter A more frequently than trip meter B, allowing them to track different aspects of their driving in a shorter time frame.

Trip Meter B:

  • Trip meter B is often used to track longer or less frequent journeys, such as road trips, vacations, or extended travel.
  • It provides a way to monitor cumulative mileage over an extended period, which can be useful for planning vehicle maintenance or budgeting fuel expenses.
  • Trip meter B may be reset less frequently than trip meter A, allowing drivers to track their driving patterns over a longer duration.

In summary, trip meters A and B are useful for drivers to monitor their driving habits and vehicle efficiency. While trip meter A is generally used for shorter, more frequent journeys, trip meter B is better suited for longer, less frequent trips.

By utilizing both trip meters, drivers can better understand their vehicle’s performance and make informed decisions about fuel consumption and maintenance.

How to use a trip meter in car?

A trip meter, also known as an odometer or trip odometer, is a useful feature in many cars that allows you to track the distance traveled during a specific journey or trip.

It can help monitor fuel efficiency , track the distance covered on a road trip, or calculate the distance between two points. This guide will provide you with detailed instructions on how to use the trip meter in your car.

How to use a trip meter in car

Locate the Trip Meter

The first step is to locate the trip meter in your car. It is usually found near the speedometer and fuel gauge on the dashboard. In some cars, it may be a digital display; in others, it may be a mechanical counter with rolling numbers. The trip meter is often labeled “Trip A” or “Trip B.”

Reset the Trip Meter

Before starting your journey, resetting the trip meter to zero is essential. This will ensure that you only measure the distance traveled during your specific trip. To reset the trip meter, follow these steps:

  • Turn on the ignition: Ensure your car is turned on, but you don’t need to start the engine.
  • Locate the reset button: Find the reset button or switch, which is typically located near the trip meter display. This button may be on the steering wheel or the dashboard in some cars.
  • Press and hold the reset button: Press and hold the reset button for a few seconds until the trip meter resets to zero. In some cars, you may need to press the button multiple times to cycle through different trip meter options (e.g., Trip A, Trip B) and then reset the desired trip meter.

Monitor the Trip Meter During Your Journey

As you drive, the trip meter will continuously track the distance you have traveled. You can monitor the trip meter to keep track of your progress, fuel efficiency, or any other purpose you have in mind.

Record the Final Reading

When you reach your destination or complete your journey, take note of the final trip meter reading. This will give you the total distance traveled during your trip. If you need to calculate fuel efficiency, you can use this information along with the fuel consumed during the trip.

Reset the Trip Meter for Future Trips

Once you have recorded the final reading, don’t forget to reset the trip meter again in preparation for your next journey. This will ensure that you always have an accurate measurement of the distance traveled during each trip.

In summary, using the trip meter in your car is a simple yet valuable tool for tracking the distance covered during your journeys.

By locating the trip meter, resetting it before each trip, and monitoring the distance traveled, you can effectively use this feature to improve your driving experience and gather useful information about your car’s performance.

How Do You Turn Off a Car Trip Function?

The car trip function, also known as the trip meter or trip odometer, is a useful feature that helps you track the distance traveled during a specific journey.

Alternative: Reset the Trip Meter

If your car does not have the option to turn off the trip function, you can reset the trip meter to zero instead. This will stop the tracking of distance for the current trip. To reset the trip meter, follow these steps:

In summary, turning off the car trip function may not always be possible, but you can reset the trip meter to zero as an alternative. You can effectively disable the trip function when needed by locating the trip meter controls, consulting your car’s manual, and following the appropriate steps.

  • Confirm the reset: Check the trip meter display to ensure that Trip A and Trip B have been reset to zero.
  • Resume driving: With Trip A and Trip B reset, you can now continue driving and accurately track the distance for your new journeys.

What Does Trip A Mean On A Car? All Answered

Your car’s odometer includes various information and parameters. One of them is trip A. Sometimes you wonder about its function and benefits for your car.

What does trip A mean on a car ? Let’s follow us for more details.

What Does Trip Mean On A Car?

The car’s odometer has 2 trip meters, including trip A and trip B . Thanks to the car trip computer , it shows you how many miles you have traveled since resetting your odometer.

In addition to calculating the distance traveled, the odometer also gives you information about your average speed and fuel level. Warning information is also provided to determine your car’s problems.

The car trip is one of the tools to help measure the vehicle’s performance after a period of use. The mileage that trips A and B provide will give you an overview of the problems you are facing while driving.

Most cars with an odometer contain basic information such as mileage, average fuel of the vehicle, stopwatch, and tire pressure.

What Does Trip A Mean On A Car?

As mentioned above, trip A on the car is a part of your odometer. Basically, it will provide trip information about the mileage you have driven in a certain time .

Trip A Function

It can be reset every time you refuel, and you can clean your driving record. It helps you to know the mileage for each full tank of gas.

When you run out of gas, you will calculate the distance to the next gas station to avoid running out of gas on the road.

The mileage display is also a way to know the quality of your vehicle’s oil for on-time maintenance and oil changes.

If the recorded mileage is too high, a “Due Soon” message may appear in some cars to remind you that the oil in your vehicle is deteriorating . You need a new oil change or vehicle maintenance.

Should you let the mileage exceed the programmed distance, “Due Now” and “Past Due” will be displayed and warn you.

Relevant Parameters

Instantaneous fuel gauge.

An instantaneous fuel gauge is one of the standard equipment that tells you the average fuel consumption of your vehicle at the time being.

This value is constantly updated and gives you the exact number of miles you have traveled at that moment.

The gauge also informs you of the fuel flow rate and performance of the vehicle’s engine. It helps you know how to save fuel while using the car.

Average mileage is divided into two categories: on city roads and on public highways. You can expect average fuel economy when traveling on the highway.

Your driving habits can be changed over time so that your vehicle can achieve maximum power while maintaining its performance.

Fuel Tank Range

The fuel available in the tank will indicate how far you can go. It helps you calculate fuel consumption, estimate fuel economy, and when to refuel the vehicle.

When you receive a warning, you need to refuel early to avoid running out of gas in the middle of the road.

In addition, if your driving habits change to an economic driving style, the average fuel level will also change over time. Problems related to refueling will also be reported through the flashing check engine dash light .

Battery Range

Battery power also controls current mileage. The remaining distance will depend on the energy in the battery.

The Electrical distance to empty (DTE) symbol and the TPMS sensor will tell you the condition of your vehicle’s battery.

Using equipment inside the car, such as air conditioning and climate control settings, also causes the battery power consumption to be different than expected. The way you drive can also affect this battery power consumption.

What Are The Differences Between Trip A and Trip B?

Main differences.

Trip A has the main function of measuring the driving distance after each refueling. What does trip B mean on a car ? Trip B has the function of measuring the number of miles traveled after each oil change.

However, not all classes of vehicle show both trips. Cheap vehicles and commercial motor vehicles will have certain differences.

Car owners can choose to display one of two trips depending on their preferences, needs, and purposes.

The fact that 2 people drive the same car and show 2 different trips also brings significant benefits.

They will know the average fuel level and the oil condition of the vehicle. The right vehicle warranty will ensure the accuracy of the trip.

A trip button allows you to switch between two values to know the fuel level in the car and its oil level.

Turn Off/ Reset Trip A & B

How to reset your road trip meter? Sometimes the current trip crashes, and you need to turn it off and reset it. The reset will vary between cars. The best way is to read the user manual carefully before resetting it.

You can go to car forums to consult the opinions of people who have experienced it. They will also help you solve other problems that arise during the reset process.

Normally, resetting trip A and trip B bears no difference. The general formula is to press and hold the trip button on car located on the switch on the left. In addition, it will reset your driving time, average driving speed, and mileage.

The longer you hold the button, the more data is reset. You should note that if the vehicle is idle for 4 hours or more, the odometer data will be reset automatically.

After each trip, resetting the trip meter helps you get accurate mileage, fuel level, and oil status. From there, it assists you to consider the exact time to refuel, maintain the car, and change the oil.

Is Trip Meter And Odometer The Same?

Many people assume that an odometer and a trip meter are the same. However, it is not the case.

The odometer’s main function is to provide information about the total distance traveled by your vehicle during its lifetime.

Meanwhile, a trip odometer tells you the approximate distance during each trip or after each time you refill your tank. It has no tracking function for the total number of trips over the vehicle’s lifetime.

Basically, an odometer will yield more information. Total road information in the car allows drivers to determine when the vehicle needs scheduled maintenance.

At the same time, they may also have to correct the readings and where to record them to compare with the next maintenance period.

Besides, an odometer will determine the average level of your car. It will also help you detect whether the odometer is faulty.

If starting the car turns the sensor data to zero after you fill it up, the odometer is faulty. You need to take it to the auto repair shop to have it repaired.

What Is Trip 1 And 2 In A Car?

What is trip A and trip B in the car ? We think you’ve got the answer. But some categories of motor vehicles, including trip 1 and trip 2, are still confusing.

Are you wondering what function these 2 trips have? They are included in the driver information center (DIC). It provides information about the number of miles you have traveled since the last reset of the meter.

Not all vehicles are available for trip 1 and trip 2. If you want to know more information about them, you can open the Menu by pressing the menu button.

Fuel and mileage information will appear. You just need to scroll down to see trip 1 and trip 2.

What does trip A mean on a car ? Overall, it allows you to track the miles you have traveled after each refueling.

It will help you to know the total distance equivalent to your full gas tank. You will get a reasonable estimate when you are about to run out of gas to fill up.

Hopefully, through this article, you have gained useful information about trip A meaning in a car . Thank you for taking the time to read our article. See you in the next post!

What does Trip A mean on a car? According to mechanicask.com , Trip A and Trip B in a car are different ways to measure the mileage of separate trips in a vehicle. Trip A shows the mileage for a shorter period, such as if you want to keep track of the miles driven between trips to the gas station.

It’s helpful to measure different forms of mileage in a vehicle because it allows you to:

  • Track the fuel efficiency of your vehicle
  • Determine how far a destination is from you
  • Decide how far it is to get to a location

These will help you take advantage of your vehicle features.

Trip A measures the shorter distance, which is helpful if you want to check on your overall mileage and other items relating to the general ability of your vehicle on the road. If you measure longer distances, you should take advantage of Trip B to determine that measurement for your vehicle.

What Does Trip B Mean on A Car?

What does Trip B mean on a car? According to vehiclefreak.com , Trip B on a car is an independent trip meter instead of a shorter distance tracker. It’s an alternative gauge if you’re already using Trip A for something else and serves to measure a long-distance trip in your vehicle.

Trip B is helpful if you want to track your driving over an extended period. If you’re curious about how much you drive in a month, you can set Trip B to monitor your monthly miles and then reset it at the beginning of the month. From there, you can determine how far you drive in your life in a single month.

Trip A and Trip B are very similar in what they offer to the driver. However, there are some distinct differences.

What Separates Trip A and Trip B?

When considering the question - what does Trip A mean on a car - it’s critical to determine what separates Trip A from Trip B. They sound very similar but there are clear distinctions between the two.

Trip A is commonly used to track your trip over short distances, so it is most often reset every single time you refill your tank. It’s practical for short distances, but it won’t do as well if you want to track over a longer period. 

In contrast, Trip B can be left running for as long as you want it to go. It could be a month, a few months, a year, or even more. It all depends on what you want to track.

Trip A and Trip B are both valuable tools to have if you want to ponder your mileage. However, they are not the same. It’s helpful to remember these so you don’t attempt to keep track of a particular mileage on the wrong Trip odometer. 

8 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN BUYING A USED CAR

So you’re in the market for a used vehicle?  We’ve gone ahead and prepped some essential questions to ask when buying a used car .

How Do You Turn Off the Car Trip Function?

Some people might not want to have their car trip function on while they drive, and that’s okay. It’s possible to turn off the car trip function if you want to leave it on your classic odometer without any additional trackers on while you drive.

According to vehiclefreak.com , you can turn off your car trip function by completing the following steps:

  • Heading to your odometer
  • Learning the stored data in your trip function

Everything will be clear once you complete this process.

Of course, it’s critical to consider that this change will only be temporary. Once you start driving, the miles will rack up and you will have to see the numbers go up again. There is no real way to stop it from happening. 

THE BEST CARS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Whether you’re squeezing into a tight campus parking spot or hauling ten loads of laundry back home, these best cars for college students will get you, your friends, and your stuff where you’re going.

Does Every Car Have a Car Trip Odometer?

When considering the question - what does Trip A mean on a car it’s helpful to think about whether your car has an odometer. If you want to complete a trip in your car, you will need an odometer. Lucky for you, every vehicle comes with a car trip odometer, ready to start tracking right from the start.

Of course, it might take some time to get used to using your various car trip odometers. The more familiar you get with the process, the easier it will be to track your habits and determine your mileage on the road. You can determine how your driving is and how much fuel your vehicle uses on the go. Plus, you can see how much you drive.

Final Thoughts

If you see Trip A on your car, know that it’s used to keep track of a section of mileage separate from your standard odometer. Trip A tracks shorter distances and typically resets itself when you refill your gas tank. On the other hand, Trip B is used to handle longer distances and will go until you turn it off.

We hope this information was helpful! The more you know about various features in your vehicle, the easier it will be to determine how you are driving and how it impacts your mileage. It’s a good idea to track your habits to determine if there’s anything you’re doing wrong to save more money on your fuel.

Naked? With Strangers? In Europe, It’s How You Relax at the Spa.

Austria and Germany abound with popular resorts called thermen where getting the full sauna experience typically means having to take it all off.

An illustration of many people of many different ages and skin tones wearing no clothes, lounging in a flowery garden and a sauna. Leaves, flowers, books and steam inside the sauna obscure the bathers’ breasts and other private parts, and in the background, there is a bright blue lake and a snow-dappled mountain range.

By Valeriya Safronova

Valeriya Safronova, who is based in Vienna, steamed and soaked at three nude spas while reporting for this article.

Had I ever seen so much bare flesh in one room? Naked in a mixed-gender Austrian sauna, I sat opposite two dozen other nude people on wooden benches. Even after more than a year of living in Europe, as an American, I still felt a little uncomfortable sitting there in nothing but my own skin.

The sauna master came in to warm things up. Tall and lanky, wearing just a towel wrapped around his hips, he wheeled in a cart with several grapefruit-size balls of crushed ice infused with essential oils like black pepper, lime and eucalyptus. After a short speech telling us to leave immediately if we felt dizzy, he placed one of the ice balls onto a tray of hot coals, and it began to sizzle. The smell reminded me of an expensive aromatic candle: a touch sweet, a touch spicy.

He twisted forward, backward and sideways with a large towel clutched between his hands, like a half-dressed matador, moving the air around the room with a singular goal: to get us very, very hot, as part of a sauna ritual called aufguss, German for “infusion.” As I watched, mesmerized, I began to forget my awkwardness — or that I was even naked.

No swimsuits allowed

Austria and Germany abound with spas called thermen — resorts with pools, saunas, lakes, restaurants, bars and treatment areas. Typically, they have a warm mineral spring, and a section where nudity is required. Walk in wearing swim trunks and you’ll get glares and maybe even reprimands.

I had traveled to St. Martins Therme & Lodge in Frauenkirchen, a small town about an hour southeast of Vienna. St. Martins stands next to a serene, shallow lake where guests can swim in the summer or take a cold plunge in winter. At the center of the therme is an atrium with a pool that has indoor and outdoor areas connected via a tunnel, floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the lake and several levels of balconies with rows of lounge chairs. The complex has five saunas and a steam room; 11 thermal pools; a treatment area with massages, facials and more; a restaurant; and a cafe. A day pass is 53 euros, or about $58.

After about five minutes of intense sweating in the sauna, we moved on to the second stage of the aufguss: Still naked, we filed outside into a courtyard with a whirlpool and walls covered in vines. My skin was so hot that the normally stinging 40-degree November air felt like a balm. An attendant handed each of us scoops of a salt-and-coconut-oil scrub, which we dutifully rubbed into our skin.

Thoroughly scoured, we returned to our perches inside, where the sauna master whipped out an oversize fan and spent the next six or seven minutes in a hot-air crescendo. After about 15 minutes total, the aufguss ended, and we flooded back out through the door, our bodies bright red and steamy.

Sit back, relax and ‘don’t stare’

The aufguss is just one of the joys of a day at a therme, which might also include a body treatment, a soak in a heated outdoor pool with rotating jets and a fresh schnitzel with an icy glass of wheat beer or sparkling apple juice. For locals in German-speaking countries, the aufguss is a hugely popular pastime, especially in the late fall and winter.

“I really enjoy it after a week of hard work, or when I just need relaxation, or if my body is really tense and my muscles are really stiff,” said Laura Blumenstiel, 29, a psychologist from Freiburg, in the southwestern corner of Germany, who has been a frequent visitor to thermen for about decade.

Typically, a therme complex is divided into two sections: one with several heated indoor and outdoor pools, where bathing suits are required and children are allowed, and a second that usually contains all the saunas, where clothing is verboten.

For some Americans, including me, nudity, especially in a mixed-gender environment, can initially feel extremely uncomfortable. Keon West, a professor of social psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, explained that cultural standards often affect what level of nudity people find tolerable: In some places, seeing women with their hair uncovered might feel racy, while in others, stripping down on a public beach is perfectly acceptable.

“You might think the Germans are a bit risqué, whereas they think they’re normal, and you’re a bit silly,” Dr. West said.

In countries like the United States, he said, there is a “highly sexualized and puritanical culture, where sex is tightly controlled. Attitudes are generally much more conservative concerning what women do and women’s bodies. In Europe that tends to be less of the case.”

In a number of studies, Dr. West and his team have found that being naked around others can increase self-confidence and life satisfaction. “If you go to a naturist event, you see a lot of normal people, people who aren’t airbrushed and aren’t Beyoncé, and you realize you don’t look bad compared to the average person,” Dr. West said. “And you spend time naked in their company and nothing bad happens. No one says anything bad to you, no one laughs at you.”

Some Americans have found that the discomfort of being nude in the sauna is fleeting and has a worthwhile payoff.

After moving to Graz, Austria, Amy Feineman, 38, a saddle fitter originally from Colorado, made the hourlong drive to Rogner Bad Blumau , a colorful, trippy therme and hotel designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian architect who believed that “the straight line is the curse of our civilization.” At the therme (day visit, €57), this philosophy translates to wavy floors, circular buildings with uneven ceilings, and bright orange, blue and green mosaics. On their first visit, Ms. Feineman and her husband skipped the nude sauna area, instead exploring the pools and outdoor gardens partly clothed. But on their second visit, they felt brave enough to bare it all in the sauna area.

“It took us most of our first day there to build up the courage to check it out, and then we spent most of our time there,” Ms. Feineman said. “I’m a plus-size person, and in the U.S., I would never wear a bikini in public. Here, I’m happily walking around the nude area.”

Ms. Feineman and her husband are regular guests at Rogner Bad Blumau now. Her main piece of advice for other nervous Americans? “Don’t stare,” she said. “And don’t worry about them judging you either.”

The most basic entry ticket to a therme, with the sauna section included, usually costs from €40 to €65, depending on how fancy or large the complex is. Typically, thermen offer at least three ticket options: a three- or four-hour pass, a day pass, and an evening pass. For example, Therme Erding in Germany, about an hour northeast of Munich, has 24 saunas and a large indoor-outdoor pool in the nude section, and costs €62 for an entire weekend day.

The best way to experience a therme is to relax and settle in for at least a half day. Bring a book. Schedule a massage, a facial or a “soft pack,” a treatment in which a massage therapist rubs a hydrating cream into your skin, then leaves you ensconced in a contraption that’s a cross between a sleeping bag and a warm water bed.

Thermen usually offer packages that encourage daylong retreats. For example, St. Martins, where my aufguss odyssey began, has an option that costs €107 and includes a bathrobe, slippers, unlimited towels and snacks.

Sweltering with a soundtrack

The sauna master was playing pulsing Austrian pop music and handing out bottles of cold, nonalcoholic beer to the 40 or so of us gathered at Alpentherme Gastein , about 90 minutes south of Salzburg (day visit, €45.50), for a party-themed evening aufguss. The balls of crushed ice flashed from the lights shining beneath them, and he encouraged us to chat, a rarity in most saunas.

Aufguss sessions come in all different types. Some sauna masters blast Metallica, while others prefer calming beats. Some dress up as Vikings. But there are two immutable rules: No clothes, and don’t enter an aufguss once it’s started (you can leave anytime).

A few other tips: Always sit on a towel in the dry saunas, claim your spot at an aufguss a few minutes early (the higher you sit, the hotter you’ll be), don’t bring your phone into nude areas, and shower before entering.

I had come a long way toward embracing my naked self by the time I sat down in the party-themed aufguss and started grooving to the music. It required a little bit of letting go: of my fears, of my ego and of my control. Glancing around — without staring, of course — I could see that no one around me looked like Jennifer Lopez or Jeremy Allen White. We were all just beautiful lumps and bumps.

Was anyone judging my body? To be honest, I was way too hot to care.

What It Really Means When You See A Red Flag At The Beach

J ust like how you'd (wisely) bolt at the first sign of a red flag from a potential romantic partner, you should also exercise caution when encountering red flags scattered along the beachfront. If your beach days are few and far between and you're clueless about the whole flag system, it's important to know that many beaches use this method to communicate the safety conditions of the waters to the public. The system, established by the United States Lifesaving Association and the International Lifesaving Federation, uses  flags of various colors, such as yellow , to convey specific meanings. Spot a red flag? Consider it a sign to reschedule your beach day .

Red flags represent a serious warning, a signal that the water conditions are unsafe for swimming. "I think we all understand that red means danger. That's telling you that things are bad out there," Dr. Stephen Leatherman, professor and director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University, told  Accuweather . The bold color warns beachgoers of high-hazard situations, including high surf, dangerous currents, or both, which can be challenging even for experienced swimmers.

Catching sight of a red flag doesn't mean that you should avoid the water entirely, but it does call for a heightened level of caution. It's a different story if you see a double red flag, however — in that case, the water is totally off-limits. Ignoring such a warning puts your safety at risk and could lead to potential legal consequences.

Beware Of Double Red Flags

You can probably get away with dipping your toes into the water when red flags are up, but when you're faced with two, don't even think about coming into contact with the waves. Elyssa Finkelstein, a Florida Department of Environmental Protection spokesperson, told Accuweather that double red flags are a non-negotiable sign that water conditions are downright hazardous. "Often, this means very dangerous ocean conditions, such as strong rip currents, and beachgoers should stay out of the water when these flags are present," she said.

Some places like Franklin County in Florida even impose consequences for defiers. Individuals found swimming under a double red flag will be asked to retreat to the beach, and failure to comply may result in a $500 fine or a 60-day jail sentence. Sheriff A.J. Smith shared with WCTV that such policies are necessary because rulebreakers endanger themselves and the people who might have to undertake rescue operations.

And for those who look out at the sea and observe what appears to be a serene situation despite the red flags, think again. "Generally, people want to swim where it looks like it's calmer because the waves aren't breaking. But that's the danger zone where that rip current actually is," Mia Hulgin, head lifeguard for Carolina Beach Ocean Rescue, explained to WECT . "So, you want to stay where those waves are breaking more consistently, in that rougher type of water than in that calm area where that rip is."

Airline Baggage Fees Are Soaring: Here's How to Avoid Them

A price hike by American Airlines means you can now shell out $40 for a checked bag. Read on for ways around the fee.

luggage-gettyimages-1067822456

Many airline passengers refuse to check bags, in part because fees keep going up.

Traveling isn't getting any easier — or cheaper. And now fees for checked baggage are on the rise again. On Feb. 20, American Airlines became the latest carrier to hike its checked bag fees this year, bumping the price up by $10 for bags checked at the airport. Now the first checked bag on an American domestic flight will cost you $35 if you pay online, and $40 if you wait till you get to the airport to pay. The second checked bag for a domestic flight is $45, whether purchased online or at the airport.

American's fee hike comes four years after its last increase, in 2018. And American isn't alone. JetBlue and Alaska Airlines have also had recent price hikes for bags. Now that American has paved the way to a $40 checked bag, it's likely we'll see other US airlines catch up. They're making money off baggage fees, so don't expect the charges to go away anytime soon. You'll have to work them into your travel budget, unless you can find an alternative.

The basics of bag fees

It's always cheaper to pay for a first checked bag online. And a second checked bag always costs more. Baggage fees can also vary depending on your ticket type and class of service. And fees jump even more if you're traveling internationally .

Some travelers consider carry-on bags practically a religion — you know who you are — and will just shrug off these changes. It's easy to see why. Not only is carry-on luggage generally free, but once you land, you don't have to wait around at baggage claim, or run the risk of the airline losing your bag . (Pro tip: The Federal Aviation Administration now says you can include  Apple AirTags  and similar trackers in your checked bag). 

Other travelers rely on a checked bag. It allows them to carry more in a larger container, and to pack certain toiletries that are over the allowed carry-on size. And it means they don't have to drag a bag through the security check, and fight for overhead-bin space. 

With airlines charging fees for everything from aisle or window seats to extra legroom, another rise in baggage fees takes the cost of travel even higher. This is especially true if you travel with more than one checked bag, or have multiple family members, each with their own checked bag.

Savvy travelers find ways around checked bag fees. Here are six tips for avoiding — or at the least, mitigating — unwanted baggage fees.

Get an airline credit card

If you've flown in recent years, you've probably tuned out flight attendants advertising an airline credit card. Next time, listen up — or better still, apply for an airline credit card before you fly.  Grabbing an airline credit card is the easiest path to avoiding baggage fees. Most of these cards charge an annual fee, but it's worth it if you'll travel a few times in a year. Airline cards vary in their terms, but they typically provide at least one free checked bag (and some extend that benefit to additional travelers booked under your reservation). They also provide other benefits, like preferred boarding groups and accrual of frequent flyer/loyalty points.

Aim for airline elite status

This option only makes sense if you're actually a regular traveler. If you are, elite status is the holy grail. Frequent flyers in the know stick with one airline when they fly, to build up miles, and they use the airlines' credit card to maximize points earned. All of this typically counts toward airline elite status. Most airlines base status on a combination of miles flown and points earned through airline-branded credit cards, hotels, car rentals, dining, shopping and other promotions.

With elite status, you get an array of benefits, like preboarding, better seat selection at no charge, free upgrades, and of course, free checked baggage. You can even earn miles at a faster pace, so you can nab a free flight sooner. Baseline elite status typically provides one free checked bag. The higher status tiers typically give you one or even two additional checked bags. 

Book in business or first class

The higher your class of service, the better the included benefits, whether that's free food and drink, or baggage allowance. Most airlines provide at least one free checked bag to passengers flying in business or first class. Though the cost of the better seat may not match the cost of your checked bags, you'll also get greater comfort and amenities. Plus, you'll earn more miles on a business or first class ticket, so the bonuses just keep piling on.

Offer your bag for free gate check

This option works best on full flights. Invariably, a flight's gate agent is under pressure to have an on-time departure. If a flight has a full passenger load, gate agents will announce they're looking for volunteers to check bags for free before boarding starts, to avoid hassles with overhead bins. 

If you think you might volunteer at the gate, make sure to keep any battery-operated electronics, medication and keys handy when you pack your carry-on, so you can remove those items quickly if you wind up checking the bag.

Consider flying Southwest

This isn't an option for many travelers and itineraries, but  Southwest  remains the only airline to provide two free checked bags with its fares. That alone keeps the airline in the conversation for some travelers.

Know the rules

To ensure your carry-on stays with you, confirm it'll fit in the airline's sizer bin and that it can stand upright, book style, in the newer overhead bins designed to pack more bags onto a flight.

And if after all this you're going to check a bag, double-check your carriers' rules. Make sure your checked bag matches the maximum dimensions and weight specified, to avoid overage charges. Watch out for bags that have protruding pockets, and make sure you account for wheels and handles when you measure the bag — just to be safe.

What It Means To Plant Weeds During A Costco Trip (And Why It's So Annoying)

Costco shopper pushing cart

Costco shoppers and employees across multiple locations are upset over finding "weeds" around the big-box store, but they're not talking about gardening. Just as real-life weeds grow somewhere unwanted, "weeds" in a store are items that are out of place. "Planting weeds" is the practice of leaving trash or random items around a store where they don't belong. Why is this so annoying? According to self-proclaimed Costco employees online, one of the biggest reasons is wastefulness.

If a customer changes their mind about buying a rotisserie chicken already in their cart and leaves it snuggled between a few sweaters, what do you think happens to that chicken when it's found? Since it's hot food and there's no way of knowing how long it's been sitting there, an employee will likely have to throw it away. This comes from an alleged Costco worker who responded to an upset shopper's Reddit post with pictures of weeds left around their local store: large cartons of eggs left on top of a trash can, mandarin oranges left on top of some pajamas, and grapes and strawberries on a stack of shoe boxes. According to the employee, perishables left around their Costco, like steak, are tested for temperature and are only returned if they're still in the safe zone. Most folks in the thread seemed to agree that leaving perishables around the store is not only annoying but extremely wasteful.

Weeds are wasteful, messy, and extra work for employees

Besides the waste caused by shoppers leaving perishables in random places, planting weeds is also detrimental to a store's aesthetic and creates more work for the employees. In other words, the practice makes a mess and assumes employees should go to any lengths to clean up after customers. As Reddit users pointed out in the frustrated shopper's thread, weeds don't just happen in Costco , they happen in all stores — Walmart, Target, and Home Depot were mentioned as other examples. One annoyed user said, "There are people out there that seriously think it's your job as a retail employee to pick up after them. I know of children that have better clean up skills."

Leaving weeds also creates the potential for items, particularly perishable ones, to stain or ruin other products. For example, when discussing one of the post's photos, one user pointed out that mandarin oranges can be leaky, and the pictured bag may have stained the clothes underneath. Another person claimed that a shopper left an 18-pound brisket on top of a pile of socks at their local Costco.

What can Costco do about weeds?

The jury is still out on what the consequences for leaving weeds should be — if there should be any at all. Some Redditors suggested that the store implement a new policy or that the Costco memberships of shoppers caught planting weeds should be banned. According to a self-proclaimed employee, their store has no policy against leaving items in random places throughout the store. When asked what they would do if they saw someone set a steak down in a non-refrigerated area, they responded, "If I saw a member set it down I'd say, 'Oh, let me take that back to the fridge for you,' so basically nothing."

As another person pointed out, however, enforcing such a policy would be difficult, and Costco likely doesn't want to lose customers, despite some people's lazy or rude shopping habits. Still, grocery stores often do have policies about throwing out perishable products that have left the store. One Costco shopper in the Reddit thread described an incident in which they reached the parking lot before realizing they bought a frozen item they didn't need; when they attempted to return it, staff allegedly told them the item would have to be thrown out for sanitary and food-safety reasons. Of course, accidents happen and shoppers are allowed to change their minds, but most folks seem to agree that it's better to leave unwanted items with the checkout clerk than to leave them somewhere in the store.
