SO while sitting at work between appointments I enjoy looking at various flight plans for future trips.

I'm curious what are some good sites others use? I occasionally use Fltplan.com but know there are several others out there which I'm not aware of.
 
Define "flight planning" a bit more to get a better answer...

For weather review I use
www.avwxworkshops.com for the longer, more in depth review. And a snapshot
www.weathermeister.com for the snapshot view

For route planning, ForeFlight.

For flying the route, WingX

Used to love NavMonster when it was up. RunwayFinder.com too. But iFlightPlanner is okay, as is Fltplan.com
 
Let's not forget DUATS. I've used their printed logs more than once when I'm exercising my waypoint distance, time, fuel used brain cells.

I signed into DUATS yesterday for the first time in a long time and I had forgot how simple the flight planning feature was. I had been using Foreflight which is great, but it doesn't use climb speeds and rates, just speed and altitude so it is a little optomistic on time enroute. ;)
 
landings.com has one that, is kind of suckky, except that one good thing about it is that it will show you an elevation track over the route, handy for planning mountain trips.
 
Like duats,fore flight ,and air nav for fuel stops.eaa also has a nice program for members.
 
I miss navmonster.com. I'll use skyvector to just do a quick trip time calculation. I also like it for quickly checking radar and airmets, etc... before flying. I'll typically use weathermeister.com to plan a longer flight though.
