I am departing in F the next day as well and don't care about the FM lounge. I assume I get priority check-in and fast-trak immigration etc. So I don't mind arriving at the airport around 45mins prior to departure. How long does it take to get from the Park Hyatt to town?
The Park Hyatt is a pretty poor hotel choice if you only have one night in SH because there aren't many shops, restaurants, bars in Lujiazui. It's a pretty sterile neighborhood. At night, you're looking at a 15-20 minute ride to more interesting areas. Good locations on the other side of the river are really no further from PVG when you take the highway network into account. 45 mins is illegal for many international flights, though iirc that is FM's limit. I'd shoot for 65 minutes in order to be safe.
