No matter what anyone says, remember to check schedules so you can pick
the best option.
One option is to take the NY Subway's E Train to Pennsylvania Station,
and then take Amtrak down to Philadelphia. I don't know the best way to
Cherry Hill from there, but the Atlantic City NJTransit line is the only
rail option to Cherry Hill.
A bus may be more practical by the time you get to Philly, since it
would likely be well into the evening if you leave JFK at 4pm.
My guesstimate on time:
- 15 minutes from your terminal to Jamaica, Queens
- 1hr to 34th Street, where you transfer to/at Penn Station
- 2-3 hours to get to 30th Street in Philadelphia from Pennsylvania
Station in New York, at least given wait times if money is no object
(there are a few hourly trains to Philly until mid-evening)
- I'm guessing at least an hour to Cherry Hilly from there, given wait times
Alternative: instead of E Train, take Long Island Rail Road to Penn
Station. More expensive, but faster and probably less of a hassle, at
least if the schedule works out.
