Yes — Premium plans include business class or stretcher repatriation if medically required. Standard plans repatriate in economy with medical escort.

Are pre-existing conditions covered?

Emergency exacerbations of stable pre-existing conditions are covered on Premium plans (stable = no hospitalisation/med change for 60–180 days). Planned treatment is always excluded.
