Limo PHL to JFK
Any NE FedEx dudes have a good solution for trans from the FedEx ramp in PHL to the crew hotel in Rockville Center near JFK?
Cheapest car service I can find is Dave's Limo; $350 one way with 15% gratuity.

I've taken Amtrak from Washington, DC to BTV (change trains in NYC). It was easy and affordable.
I haven't actually taken Amtrak from PHL to Rockville Center but I bet you could take Amtrak to NYC and change to the local train service?

Take the SEPTA airport train at KPHL (most terminals; may have to take cab to terminals) to 30th Street station ($8) where you'll take Amtrak to Penn Station NYC. At Penn Station follow signs to Long Island Railroad information booths and purchase ticket for Rockville Center station. Take cab to hotel. Probably less than $150 for trip. Hope this helps.

Can't miss it. It will drop you off at departures. Walk into the terminal and cross the skywalk to arrivals. You will see a Septa station at terminal C and A (?). Take that to 30th street station.

I've taken the train a few times. Very easy. LIRR to Rockville Center just like posted above. If we are still staying at the Hampton Inn next to the King Soopers it is an easy walk from the station to the Hampton Inn - no cab required.

I use to use Daves Limo for that run. Was 350 for a private run? They run scheduled service for around 80 bucks each way....(at least they use too)
BTW the Septa Airport train will drop you at 30th Street Station where you grab a train to NYC
