IFR through Florida - airways?

I've been flying there once. Filed down the east coast, although there was a
Shuttle landing at that day and the airspace was supposed to be closed until
around my crossing time there.

Got cleared as filed, waited for the rerouting - which didn't come. I ended
up flying just next to Cape Canaveral with the Shuttle still parked on the
runway... beautiful sight!!

My understanding is, if you file "direct", you'll most likely get a reroute.
Any other experiences out there?

Happy flying,
Patrick

Due to a business meeting, I will be flying from NY to Miami, Florida in a
few weeks.

In looking over the en route charts, I see a lot of MOAs, restricted, and
prohibited airspaces throughout Florida. Also, my destination is
Kendall-Tamiami (KTMB), which is just southwest of Miami International and
below their Class B.

It appears that the most likely option is to plan and file airways/VORs
through central and western Florida, with the idea of arriving into TMB
from the west and ask for direct as I am flying, rather than filing
direct.

Could anyone with Florida IFR experience share your thoughts on IFR flight
through Florida? Thanks.


If you are planning on flying down the east coast, from the GA-FL border
to Vero Beach, expect a reroute around JAX airspace to the west (I call it
the Central Florida Tour) unless you can fly above 12,000.

I've filed direct through Florida, and gotten it.

I have run into problems when I've tried changing routing in flight.
ATC accommodated me, but it was apparent that they were handling a lot
of traffic and the re-route used up a lot of their scarce time. Gave me
a lot of airways and waypoints. I'd recommend filing the way you want
to go.

Lots of airplanes crammed into a small space.
