I'm needing to get from Atlantic City to the Philadelphia airport on a Monday. My flight leaves 2:25pm.

Are there shuttles, trains? What's the best way to do this?

You didn't specify WHICH Monday -- next Monday is Christmas, and the one after that is New Years. So I randomly chose January 8th as a day for a search on Kayak.Com for a car rental from Atlantic City at 8 am with a drop off at PHL at noon. Cost was as low as $64. Even including gas and bridge tolls, this may be the cheapest option for even two people.

Acutually it's Feb. 5, one person. I also should have said I was looking for cheap transportation, most likely public.

Thanks for the links GoTravel. The Philly ground transportation helped get me started. It's not easy getting from Atlantic City to Philadelphia. I think it can be done, but it won't be fun dragging a suitcase. Lots of transfers between buses and trains.

I should have checked into this before booking a cheap ticket into Philadelphia. The difference added in for transportation might have let me fly to Atlantic City.

Surely there's a shuttle from Atlantic City that takes people to Philadelphia. I don't care where the shuttle picks me up. I can figure that part out.

I'm only having to do this one way because I'm meeting my husband there. He'll have a rental car and will be able to pick me up in Philadelphia. But Monday he'll be back in meetings and I need to find my own way to the airport.

On February 5th, there are 23 Greyhound buses going from Atlantic City to Philadelphia -- all without transfers, each scheduled to take 90 minutes. They will arrive at 10th and Filbert, right across the street from the Market East Station for regional rail. From there the R1 train will take you right to the Airport. I'm sure this will be the most economical and convenient way to go.

Thank you Paul! That's probably what I will do.

It's been 25 years since I've rode Greyhound. I wonder if the same interesting people still ride Greyhound.

There are 5 New Jersey Transit trains that run from Atlantic City to Philadelphia 30th Street, that are scheduled to arrive before Noon at Philly's 30th Street Station. From there you can take the R1 train to the airport.

See link: http://www.njtransit.com/,
click train schedules and select Philadelphia 30th Street as a destination and Atlantic City as departing station.

Why suddenly top this and the "Philly to Atlantic City" post that's 2 years old, worldtraveler12345?
