You mean VFR on Top. The main advantage is you get to pick your
altitude and go much lower against headwinds. Since there is no
separation provided by ATC there is a lot more route flexibility.

A question I have always had but never asked until now: Does VFR-On-TOP
allow the pilot to choose headings as well, say to avoid CB buildup,
without requesting the heading change of ATC?
