Default Flight Planning for Long Trips

One of the things I do when planning a long trip is to plug in the start
and end points into the flight planning software.
In the route portion I place an intermediate airport if the route has to
take a jog left or right for weather or obstacles.
This then gives me the leg distances and times accounting for winds
aloft along the route.
From this information I can set my fuel stops based along with fuel
price information from various sources.
