Narrative:

While in cruise flight with ZAU with a filed route of flight from mke to dll V510 bitler nickl 2 arrival to msp, I asked for a heading to proceed direct to bitler (300 degrees). This was approved by ZAU. After crossing dells VOR, I was instructed to contact ZMP on 128.6. The controller was busy at the time of my transition so I waited to contact them. Shortly thereafter, ZMP called my flight number to which I responded. They then asked my heading and altitude which I gave as 300 degrees and 14000 ft. I was then instructed to turn left heading 280 degrees to remain clear of military airspace. I believe this problem could have been prevented had chicago first asked ZMP if my heading would be acceptable considering the status of the military airspace.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ARTCC ARTCC INTERFAC COORD FALLS SHORT OF EXPECTED IN COMMUTER OP.

Narrative: WHILE IN CRUISE FLT WITH ZAU WITH A FILED RTE OF FLT FROM MKE TO DLL V510 BITLER NICKL 2 ARR TO MSP, I ASKED FOR A HDG TO PROCEED DIRECT TO BITLER (300 DEGS). THIS WAS APPROVED BY ZAU. AFTER XING DELLS VOR, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT ZMP ON 128.6. THE CTLR WAS BUSY AT THE TIME OF MY TRANSITION SO I WAITED TO CONTACT THEM. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, ZMP CALLED MY FLT NUMBER TO WHICH I RESPONDED. THEY THEN ASKED MY HDG AND ALT WHICH I GAVE AS 300 DEGS AND 14000 FT. I WAS THEN INSTRUCTED TO TURN L HDG 280 DEGS TO REMAIN CLR OF MIL AIRSPACE. I BELIEVE THIS PROB COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD CHICAGO FIRST ASKED ZMP IF MY HDG WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING THE STATUS OF THE MIL AIRSPACE.
