So there I was, flying along, when ATC told me that I would have to climb to 14,000 to stay on the airway I had filed, but I could stay at 12,000 if we took an off-airway shortcut. The OROCA in the area was higher than the airway. I don't remember exactly where this was, but I think it was V208 between PUC and PGA. The shortcut wasn't far off the airway, either. How common is this and how could I have planned for it? That is, what could I have filed to get the lower altitude instead of filing the airway and expecting 14,000?
