Flying to NYC for a Superday from Philadelphia

The interviews start at 10 am and I am traveling from Philadelphia to NYC to interview at MS/GS/JPM. They said i should pay for everything and they will reimburse. Should I book a flight or amtrak. I am just worried to book Amtrak because buses are so unreliable.

Amtrak is literally faster than a flight bro. Amtrak if I remember correctly from philly is like 1-2 hours depending on Acela/ the slow one and takes you to Penn station in Midtown and a short walk to all the offices you mentioned. A flight would probably be 5+ hours between getting there early and ubering from whatever airport into Manhattan. 

 

Amtrak is a train, not a bus. It's also significantly faster for that distance. I would recommend giving yourself some wiggle room, but to be honest, the Northeast Corridor line rarely is off-schedule.
