Clearance with an Odd Intersection

Now THAT makes sense. Is that a common thing with the air carriers?

Air carriers almost always use canned flight plans that never vary, and
they seldom file /G.

I file /G every time as a Part 135 pilot, and seldom to the same place, so
every flight plan is different, and the routes can be really weird,
especially the ones going offshore. If you have a GPS, then all you need
to do is pull the intersections up on it. The GPS doesn't care where the
waypoint is charted, it just knows where it is, and will take you there.
Another place to look for intersections, especially at or near your
destination, is on the STARs.
