Narrative:

Complacency! Flying the same aircraft on the same route to the same cities day after day. Got the release. Checked fuel, time en route, date, aircraft, MEL's, WX -- everything except the route. First officer pulled up company route sea-las, old stored flight plan, didn't xchk the paperwork. Controller questioned our routing after leveloff. I responded with stored flight plan. They politely 'corrected' me and I corrected course. No excuse -- my mistake, but caused by complacency. Won't happen again!
