[quote=ELLYSE,369062]Currently due to the H1N1 health checks on all incoming aircraft, I would reckon on getting out of Pudong airport about 1-1.5 hours from your flight landing time. Thus I would expect to get out around 0815-0830. It then takes about 1-1.5 hours by airport shuttle no.7 (20 RMB/pax) or taxi to Shanghai South train station, so I would expect to arrive around 1000, at the very fastest 0930. I would not want to take the Maglev + metro with luggage, as you would need to change lines either a) once at People's Square which would be extremely crowded in rush hour, or b) twice at Century Avenue and then Shanghai Indoor Stadium which won't be any less hassle/crowded. It wouldn't be much faster with this method anyway.
As for Hangzhou airport, check-in for your 1410 flight would start at 1210, and I would get there no later than 1300. I would allow about 45 mins to get to Hangzhou airport from downtown Hangzhou, by airport shuttle or taxi. At Hangzhou main train station, the taxi queue might be somewhat long, so taking a taxi might not necessary be faster than the airport shuttle. To be safe, I would want to arrive in Hangzhou no later than 1130.
I think rushing for the D5657 mightn't be possible. If you don't mind a less comfortable train, I would recommend that you try to get tickets in advance for train 2135 (0956--1200) which takes just a little over 2 hours, but which arrives at Hangzhou east train station. Here you don't have the option of taking the airport shuttle to Hangzhou airport, but the taxi ride should be a wee bit shorter, so you should be able to arrive by taxi within 30 mins.[/quote]
