Well in this case it is correct for your HEL-ORD-HEL
You can work it out yourself if you wish, take the mileage, apply the selling class bonus, apply the status bonus.
HEL-ORD one way in I class on BA code as a BA gold
Base miles 4436
Selling class bonus 150% - add 2218
Status bonus 100% - add 4436

If you want another place to check the owenrudge calculator is a useful calculator albeit the underlying mileages don't quite match the ones BA uses so the end result may be a few miles different

In terms of removing non existent routes from the calculator, I doubt BA will want to spend any time doing that - after all why would you be looking at routes which don't exist and what does it matter if they are left on the database.
