Narrative:

The original flight plan for the flight was filed for a route of: sjn 112.3 direct to cim 116.4. The pre-departure clearance (pre departure clearance) was received with the filed clearance on it and further down a change of route to show: sjn 112.3 to abq 113.2 to cim 116.4 the flight read and followed the filed clearance. After passing over sjn the flight crew proceeded direct to cim and was questioned by ATC and eventually cleared directly to cim. To prevent a recurrence of this a way of emphasizing changes on pre departure clearance would help. Supplemental information from acn 207364. Received pre departure clearance late (at push time) and attached to another report (final WX or weight and balance). The report had the ATC clearance printed at the perforation in the paper. Just below was the filed clearance. Read filed clearance vice ATC.
