We queried this but the agent insisted so we asked to speak to a manager who confirmed this was the case as she'd double-checked both Rhodes and Tenerife... In fact she told us we must have got some sort of special promotion!
Neither Head For Points, Reward Flight Finder or Seat Spy show this change in Zone 3 Avios pricing yet doing a dummy booking online for Rhodes definitely shows it is now 23,500 off-peak and Tenerife is now 26,500. When did these changes kick in?
I have seen this week that there was an update to zone 3 only. So i think this is correct.
