Help pick the route map colour scheme

[wishfulanthony]

I like the new concept of the airline route map, but, there seems to be an issue with the color scheme: on the map you have on the top, it's too bright, and I like the suggestions of cloudscraper and thunderstruck of having softer colors. I want to make it one step further, though:

What if I'm part of an alliance, and I want to know the routes the other airlines in my alliance have, will it be possible to include those in the map as well, including the airlines' bases and focus cities, so that I can determine what routes would suit my airline's expansion?

Looking at this map again, the 'airport icons' are way to large. They are larger than the size of a major conurbation in geographically. I think they only need to be a few pixels wider than the line itself.

    * Countries: Beige
    * Oceans: Light blue.
    * Airports: Dark blue
    * Route lines: Red

I agree with these suggested colors, except for airports, that I would see in black for best visibility.

Here is the route map being used in the real world:
