Narrative:
The trip was a regularly scheduled passenger flight between san diego and phoenix. Over imperial VOR at FL290, ZLA gave us a vector for spacing on traffic. Prior to bard VOR we were asked to change frequencys to ZAB. Over bard the center said we were 6 mi south of course and in a restr area. He stated we were supposed to be on the arwy and to make an immediate turn to 020 degrees. I apologized and attempted to explain that we did not acknowledge a change in our clearance. Prior to reaching 020 degrees in my turn I crossed the arwy 075 degree right at 10 DME. The controller was now upset that I went through the arwy. We were not told to intercept, only to turn to 020 degrees. However, we did join the arwy at 20 mi east of bard. There was 1 major contributing factor: wind--120 KTS from the south. The problem arose because of poor communications and misunderstandings.

Title: INTRAFAC COORD NOT COMPLETED AFTER FIRST CTLR VECTORED ACR MLG OFF ARWY FOR SPACING. THE SECOND CTLR VECTORED THE ACFT AWAY FROM MEXICAN AIRSPACE AND THROUGH THE AIRWAY.
Narrative: THE TRIP WAS A REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAX FLT BTWN SAN DIEGO AND PHOENIX. OVER IMPERIAL VOR AT FL290, ZLA GAVE US A VECTOR FOR SPACING ON TFC. PRIOR TO BARD VOR WE WERE ASKED TO CHANGE FREQS TO ZAB. OVER BARD THE CENTER SAID WE WERE 6 MI S OF COURSE AND IN A RESTR AREA. HE STATED WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE ARWY AND TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE TURN TO 020 DEGS. I APOLOGIZED AND ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN THAT WE DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A CHANGE IN OUR CLRNC. PRIOR TO REACHING 020 DEGS IN MY TURN I CROSSED THE ARWY 075 DEG R AT 10 DME. THE CTLR WAS NOW UPSET THAT I WENT THROUGH THE ARWY. WE WERE NOT TOLD TO INTERCEPT, ONLY TO TURN TO 020 DEGS. HOWEVER, WE DID JOIN THE ARWY AT 20 MI E OF BARD. THERE WAS 1 MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR: WIND--120 KTS FROM THE S. THE PROB AROSE BECAUSE OF POOR COMS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
