Apologies for yet another "I'm slightly short to make status" threads, but I can't find the answer to this one anywhere immediately obvious.

I'm 450 miles short for gold next year. Being UK-based, the easiest way to remedy that is via a domestic BA flight.

I had a recollection these earn 500 elite miles each way, but maybe that's changed post-merger?

It's either that, or pony up the $399 AA wants for me to retain gold.

Thanks for any answers.
