On a similar vein to the original posting, could I plan the following for an IFR flight from Southampton to Stapleford?

DCT MID DCT BIG DCT LAM altitude 6000ft? (I think I'm correct in saying Quadrantals do not apply within CAS)


This has the obvious advantage that I remain in controlled airspace throughout the entire flight with the exception of the arrival into Stapleford. However I have flight planned to be going through a very busy sector of LTMA (at 100kts in my PA28!). Would the flight plan get accepted and would ATC be happy to vector me around the commercial traffic?

Thanks SW
