Had a coworker have to have a medical evacuation from Greece to Canada--quite a trip by a small jet..don't have the exact routing, but a number of stops en route. You can imagine the $$$ cost. (not to mention she was in hospital about 1 month in Greece).
All covered by credit card insurance. Frankly, he would have been destitute without the insurance. Taught me to read my policies more carefully!
