Amtrak all the way

like

Acela is Amtrak! You save 10 minutes taking the Acela to philly, not worth the 100+ premium IMO. Now if someone else is paying, game on.

What is your price vs convenience preference? AirTrain>Subway to Penn>NJ Transit to Trenton>SEPTA is probably cheapest. Though there might be a bus option from near Penn that’s even cheaper. Otherwise, go for AirTrain>LIRR to Penn>Amtrak non-Acela business class. Acela to Philly is like 8 mins faster than the regional. If you take the regional and buy business it’s still cheaper usually and you’ll have plenty of space

Bruh... How else are you going to get there? You have to take the train. C'mon man seriously? Though getting from JFK to NYP can be a hassle

LIRR from JFK to Penn (30min) - make sure to chose the weekend rate. Amtrak / Acela from Penn to Phil.

I was on a project where people always took the Acela from Philly yo NYC. They said it was much nicer than Amtrak

Renting a car works best I think

Acela vs Amtrak not worth the difference... just take whatever time is more convienent
