To compete for this amazing prize, readers were provided an opportunity to cast their votes for what factor or combination of factors they think is responsible for making Emirates a preferred airline for family travel, the world over.

Emirates has also decided to present a special prize of exciting Emirates merchandise to one other participant, Aravinda Dissanayake of Pilimatalawa, for the most number of entries sent in by a single person during the promotion period.

The winners will be notified of a date to receive their prizes.
