Default Flight Planning Software

I was wondering if anyone had the name of a good flight planning software. Not something you would use to plan a VFR X-C like DUATS, but something more tailored to airline pilots? I'm not even sure if this exists, but something with the typical routing between 2 city pairs and the freqs enroute? I heard a rumor some Delta guys use something like this?

Fltplan.com ?? We use this in our corporate flight department, and it is about as good as anything the I had in the airlines. Not sure if that is what you are looking for. Hope it helps.

I agree with the two previous postings. I've used fltplan.com for a Cirrus Sr-22 for over 3 years and even ran a flight plan for a B-767 re-positioning flight. I compared that with what Dispatch provided and they were very similiar. Fltplan.com gives you weather, charts, virtually everything you'll need and the automatic filing of flight plans with ATC is effortless. Best of all, it's free and easy to update your aircraft and tailor it for your personal preferences.

I think it's about the best service available no matter what type of aircraft you're flying.
