The flight path map window is too small. In Cataclysm, the window UI is about 2x the size, to account for the numerous flight paths that were added with Patch 4.0.3.
This current pre-Cata size makes it very, very difficult to find and interact with desired flight paths, since the icons are pretty much squished on top of each other. This is leading to folks clicking the wrong flight path by mistake as they can’t select the one they want.

Agree 100%. Right I have low levels all questing around SM, Westfall, Elwyn, etc. It’s very hard to be precise in picking a flight path because they are all on top of on another.
Just make the FP map full screen.

Issue is still current. Constantly picking the wrong flight location.

I agree wholeheartedly - I can’t imagine what this window is like for anyone with any sort of visual/motor skill impairment. I consistently fly to flight points near where I wanted to go because I simply can’t click the correct FP. Just make it bigger already.

Big agree. It’s way to cluttered and condensed.

Agreed. Very difficult to see individual stops.

Not a solution, but you can scale up the map as a temporary workaround:
/run TaxiFrame:SetScale(1.5)
1.5 is 50% larger (that is, 150% of the normal size), so adjust that number accordingly for what works for you.
This should persist until you reload your UI or otherwise log out.

This is still an ongoing issue.

+1 for this, having a hard time figuring out where I need to go since map is so cramped. Wasting time flying to incorrect spots from guessing.

I thought this was just me, but I don’t remember in Cataclysm back in 2012 this being like that.

This is an issue for a player in my Cata Classic guild.
It is a nightmare, Constantly end up in the wrong place. Just another reminder that blizzard is bad at everything.
While it is still pending approval at the time of this writing, I rolled this up into an addon: https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info26740-BigTaxiMap.html
Addon increases size of the taxi map 50% like I had suggested above, but then it also cuts the size of the flight map buttons in half both vertically and horizontally from 16px to 8px (which appears as 12px with the scaled increase of the parent frame) to increase separation between the buttons.

thank you so much this is what i was looking for fixes all the issues being able to zoom in to specific map to pick the flight point is so nice
Excellent!
I was about to comment that scaling up works, but not quite as well as one would hope because the icons also scale up. 
And then I see you’ve created an addon to solve that.
Thanks!
For anyone who’d prefer different scaling, I’d like to point that the code is clean. And should be easy for anyone to modify. Even if you don’t have a programming background. All the logic is contained in BigTaxiMap.lua, and it’s only 44 lines including comments.

44 may still sound like a lot to a non-programmer. It’s really 20 lines of code removing the comments and blank lines, and only three need to be looked at if you want to change the sizes:
Line 22: TaxiFrame:SetScale(1.5) - overall size of the frame (150%)
Line 31: button:SetSize(8, 8) - size in pixels of the flight points (8x8)
Line 34: texture:SetSize(16, 16) - size in pixels of the flight point the mouse is on (16x16)
I made a WeakAura for it on wago dot io search for: MALUI: Flight Map Resizer

Leatrix Plus addon also now has an option built in to resize the flight map, and gives you a slider to scale the size.
Yup, “leatrix plus” and “BlizzMove” addons got some improvement for the flight map.
