Here is a site a I found that I think has ready made plans and stuff http://www.fsdestinations.com/ .
If you want to create your own then try this: http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/
Just put in your departure and destination and press "FInd Route" (the other options are not necessary, but it's up to you). Then you get a screen
with route information. Now copy the route ( The one on the bottom of the page, for example from LSGG to LIRF it will look kinda like this:
LSGG SID MEDAM UM730 TOP UL50 ELB UM729 GILIO STAR LIRF )
Then go here: http://www.fsroute.com/
Type in the "Departure" and "Arrival" and Paste the route you copied in to the "Route" window. Now remember to remove the LSGG, SID, STAR and LIRF out
of the route. Because you already typed LSGG and LIRF above, and because mostly SID and STAR don't work here very well. Now Choose "MS Flight
Simulator 200X" in "F/P Export, and click Generate.
In the next screen you can see the route (and any errors, that might need corrected). A popup asking to save file, will load automaticly (if there was
no error) choose to save it. Save it her for Windows XP: ( Drive_Letter:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9 ) and for
Windows 9x: ( Drive_Letter:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9 ).
That's it, now start FS9 and load the flightplan.

I hope this helps.

or do like me and use the defualt flightplanner with real world High altitude IFR charts (entire U.S., Its sweet) the FP will tell you what Jet (or
Victor) airways to use, refer to your charts and your on your way.

Another great place to find routes is simroutes.com although I think they only have routes for the USA...And you put the route you found in the big fsroute box titled "route"

You can use my "quick link" flight planning page. I have my favorite flight planning sites in one area. http://www.web333.net/ral.htm

Ignore the VA part of it. It's somthink I'm screwing around with at the same time learning about building a web site.

One of the best purchases I ever got was Jeppessens Flight Sim charts. It contains STAR plates, approach and departure plates and
various other procedures and airport information. From these I plan my departures and arrivals (not the approcahes since weather
determines this). Then fly around down the airways to join the departure and arrival procedures.

I find it more involving using the NAV VORs and ADFs to navigate as opposed to switching on GPS and flying a route.

And some of the approaches are fantastically complex - ILS VOR DME approaches - flying DME arcs etc - good stuff).
