THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

With the merger apparently going through in December, do we have a timetable when you will no longer be able to credit the flights to Star Alliance partners? I am flying in late January and my Aegean ff# is on the reservation already. I would love to get the mileage necessary to earn Aegean gold status, but am now uncertain as to whether it will credit properly.
Does anyone here have any thought on this?
At this point and time I don't think anyone can answer your questions. You'll have to play it by ear as things unfold.

How long does it take to get from the airport to the station?
We're all landing 5:20 am. Which train are you thinking of taking?

Btw, how much is the train into the city?

Thanks

So it seems, for 12/3 @ 7:00am. Flight seems to be on-time most of the time (bli ayin hara)

There seems to be a train from the airport to the Amtrak station, and it's only an 8.3 mile drive, so a cab might be an option as well. Both the train (which departs at 6:13am (on my date anyway) and the cab should take 17 minutes from the airport to the station.

Rail passes from the airport to the station seem to be $8 or less, details here. FWIU you need a one-way zone 4 per person. Cab fare should be ~$30.

For 12/4, looks like $39/ticket per Amtrak one-way PHL-NYP (Penn Station), up to eight tickets on each available train.

For getting to Philly's 30th Street station, see my edits in my post above. How's that for spoonfeeding? :P

And another question (I'm sure that others reading might have a benefit from the conversation).
Do you have to book in advance for a good price?

Nicely done, sir.

So you'd rather do a train than rent a car?

The cheapest way to NYC is to take the train from the airport to Philly, either Market East Station (Near Greyhound Bus Stop) or 30th Street Station (Near Mega & Bolt Bus Station) for $6.50. Greyhound, Mega, & Bolt Bus have fares from Philly to NYPABT starting from $1.00.

AsherO, you prefer train to bus? Even at 3-4x the price?

Can anyone get the Bolt bus schedule/price to load for any route from PHL to Port Authority in December?

Keep on getting this:

Quote
Boltbus Schedules for the date you have selected are not available at this time on our system. We try to keep 4 to 6 weeks of schedules available at all times. Please check back with us again a little closer to your scheduled departure time for available service. We appreciate your business at Boltbus.
