If not for the train to Newark, I'd be driving to Philly. The Newark train is $5 more than the one to Penn Station (a few stops north) but it is the airport fees and well worth it to avoid parking (I'm very skeptical of letting anyone else drive my car. This includes valets)

My parents, in NY, fly in and out of White Plains when possible. JFK and LGA are a PITA.
