Princeton Junction to Philadelphia Airport
I am new in NJ. I need to get to Philadelphia Airport. Can anyone tell me how to get there from Princeton Junction? I have never taken a train before...do I catch the Amtrak or the NJ Transit? Thanks

Frankly, the easiest way is to hire a car service.
If you MUST take the train, catch the train at the Princeton Junction station toward Trenton. You're going to need to change at Trenton, to the train to Philadelphia. Get off at the station in Philly (I believe it's 30th Street) and get a taxi to the airport. There are no trains going directly to the Philadelphia airport.

It is annoying and time consuming to travel from NJ to Philly airport via transit. NJTransit to Trenton and then SEPTA (R7) to Philly (or Amtrak to 30th St). Then a SEPTA R1 to the Airport.
A car service will be your best bet in terms of time and ease. Getting to Newark Airport on the train is another story. That is cake.

I've always just driven to the airport. It's not that bad of a drive, and parking isn't bad either.

Is there a direct train from anywhere else in NJ to PA airport? I am new here and I am really nervous driving there. Thanks to all who have replied.

There are no direct trains to Phila airport. You have to switch from NJT to SEPTA (NJ to PA). It is not too bad, if you are not schleping a lot of luggage. From Princeton Jct-NJT to Trenton, pick up Septa (R7) to 30th Street Station, then R1 to the airport. You can check out the schedules on the Septa web site.
The only other options are to drive (not too bad depending on your departure time) or to hire a car (about $100-$115 one way from Princeton Jct).
