Philly to JFK?
I know a lot of people had asked about this in the past, but I just want to ask for more clarification and suggestions.
Which is the best route to reach JFK, I was think about taking a bus to NY then use the subway, but which bus is the best to use? (Stop near subway station with direct train nearby)
Also, just curious if the China Airline shuttle is just for those who fly with China Airlines? My flight time is similar, so I was wondering if I can use it.

OP: look for a bus that goes into Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal, from which there is easy access to the Queens-bound "E" subway, which will take you to the JFK AirTrain station in Jamaica (subway stop "Sutphin/Archer/JFK").

Define best.
You can arrange for car service from Philadelphia to JFK, door to door with no hassles of handling luggage on multiple trains/buses/subways.

But Amtrak will typically cost more than the bus.

Many variables.
What time is your flight?
When are you planning to arrive in NYC? Day of the week and time of day will change my answer.
Luggage?
Able bodied?
Departing from PHL airport or Philly the city?
