I've been meaning to ask this for awhile, so here goes.
Departing CVG for VPS a couple of months ago, we were immediately cleared direct to our destination as soon as we checked on with center just south of CVG.
By the time we reached VPS we must have been handed off to atleast 5 or more controllers.
So how can a controller clear you to a fix over 500 miles away, when other times they don't have the ability to clear you to a fix that might be in another controllers sector?
Thanks, just trying to paint a clearer picture in my mind when I am listening on the radio.
