Cheapest? Train to Penn station and bus to JFK. (Or, if you have any National free days, use one — they work on one way rentals.)

Best? Fly to JFK.

Amtrak or bus to Penn Station then take the E from Penn Station to eventually transfer to JFK AirTrain

There’s some very cheap buses between DC and NYC. Like $20 cheap. I used to take them out of DC Chinatown to near MSG for the w/e.

You're looking for $100 total for four people with lots of luggage? Besides hoofing it there's no way it'll cost under $100. Maybe take greyhound type buses to port authority then take the E train, but even that'll likely be a little over $100 and fam will be miserable. Can you afford a little more? Pack sandwiches and water bottles, don't spend money on food at the airport and that'll save you $50 already...

There is nothing cheaper than $100 that will be remotely comfortable or give you any kind of schedule certainty. You’ll have to leave early and budget an extra day’s hotel spend, which will wipe out any savings anyway.

Considering the number of people and luggage you have. I would say rent your option of renting a van and driving up would be your best bet. Hard to beat 200 especially for that many people.

You can take AMTRAK straight to Manhattan then Uber or take a shuttle

If you can fly from Newark instead (usually cheaper), Amtrak will take you straight to the airport

Well not quite (you need to take the air train).

Sneak on a freight train. May take you a few days but could be less than $100.

Not if they offer favors to the conductor.

Switch your flight to DCA or Dulles ?

You got some money to give me since youre so uncheap?

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
