Question Approach airport A land at airport B

Hello,

Quick question:

Imagine planning an IFR to VFR flight to a field with no IFR procedures (destination A).

Problem is the weather does not allow you to safely descent to VMC

e.g. grid MORA 5000ft, clouds OVC040.

You could use a nearby IFR equipped aerodrome (destination B), follow the STAR/approach to safely get you below the clouds and then continue to your destination in VMC.

Now the question is, how would you put these intentions in your flightplan?

Plan to dest B and put A as an alternate?
Re-clearance in flight?


Thanks!
