British Atlantic Airways was an airline created by Sir Thomas Chester in 1957, originally serving transatlantic destinations from London Heathrow airport. Passengers were flown to New York, Boston, Washington, Miami, and several Caribbean destinations on one of twelve Lockheed 1049Gs, seating 52 in luxurious sleeper seats. The aircraft were also equipped with on-board lounges. BAA would continue to grow until 1974, when it merged with the Royal Imperial Air Company and British International Airlines to form Royal Airways.

Have the off-blue end right at the topmost point of the cockpit window, then have a gold line above it, do the same on the tail line and make the trident on the logo gold

I'll try it and see what happens

Oooh! I actually like this. My only two suggestions would be to add another color on top of the blue, like gold or something. I'd also make the actual livery about as large as the seat map, which I think looks pretty nice.
I played around with it and found something I thought looked good. There's a gold line at the top now that curves down and ends up in line with the antiglare paint in front of the cockpit windows, and I redid the tail completely, but I didn't recolor the trident as I think single-color logos are more appropriate for the 50s. I'll keep that idea in mind for when I make the next brand iteration though.
Regarding the size of the livery and seat map relative to each other, the livery looks so small because I left both at 100%. Making them the same size would require either making the livery huge and blurry or the seat map small and pixelated. The way it is now, they're both at optimum resolution when the image is viewed in full size.
I love these seat maps
I do too! They're a lot of fun to make!
Ok, it looks a bit better now. I'd suggest using a subtle gradient to stimulate the metallic gold paint though. That should be an easy fix though.
