Flight Planning Tutorial - How to choose a route and how to plan it

Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot.
Many of you have asked me to show you how I decide which routes I am flying, where I get my information from and how I actually plan my flights using simbrief.
In this tutorial I'll give you an all in one overview of some great resources for flight planning.
They will enable you, amongst others, to find:
Real life schedules
Real life callsigns
Real life routes
And finally I'll show you how to use simbrief to generate a flight plan that makes optimal use of all the information we gathered.
I will also show you how to make a quick and fully automated export of the flight plan and weather files so that they are instantly available in the PMDG 737.
In the video I advised about the fleet planning section at the end but I choose to make it a seperate video instead as it would have made this tutorial too long.
