Our Autoventure journeys continue to bring Members closer to the world’s most remarkable destinations. In excitement for the new year, I am pleased to announce the 5D4N AA Fly-Drive Okinawa Scenic Drive (Onna Village, Motobu, Naha city), happening from 27 to 31 January 2027. It combines scenic coastal drives and winter whale-watching with opportunities to discover the island’s unique Ryukyuan heritage, local cuisine and vibrant shopping streets. Specially for this trip, early registrants will get a chance to rent a Porsche Boxster for the trip. For travellers seeking a longer getaway, our 15D14N AA Fly-Drive to An Epic Traverse of New Zealand’s North & South Islands from 14 to 28 March 2027 takes travellers across both the North and South Islands, from the magical Waitomo Glowworm Caves and Hobbiton Movie Set to the breathtaking landscapes of Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo and Milford Sound.

With haze impacting our air quality, it remains useful to know how to maintain cleaner air inside your vehicle. In our Highway article, Haze Outside, Clean Air Inside, we share practical tips on improving in-car air quality, from using your air-conditioning settings effectively to maintaining your cabin air filter. These simple precautions can help make your daily drives more comfortable whenever air quality is affected.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all our Members and their families a happy Deepavali, as well as a safe and enjoyable break during the upcoming school holidays. May this festive season bring you and your families joy, happiness, and safe travels.

As we look ahead to 2027, we are preparing to celebrate a significant milestone; 120 years of serving motorists and the wider community. Stay tuned for more about the celebrations in the months ahead.

Best wishes
