Hmmm, I'm not sure. 60 Qcredits will currently only get you roughly an upgrade one way on a 2 sector journey (say EUR to Asia), if you can find one...

So I wouldn't expect Keys to give dramatically better value. But hope springs eternal and all that, and we may be surprised and delighted.

The as yet unanswered question is whether they will give a one sector, or a one way, or a one ticket benefit per key, whatever that benefit may turn out to be. Certainly access to x1 rather than x2 pricing for one ticket per key could be one apparently generous possibility, although that's not really super generous considering x1 was previously much more widely available anyway until not so long ago.

I suspect many might just be happier that whatever they open up, it is a more guaranteed benefit than the hens' teeth of Qcredits upgrade availability nowadays (which is of course not unconnected to the reduced x1 availability)
