Am I missing a trick here? I was planning to hire a van & driver for the day to take us up to Mutianyu first then back to the airport. I believe we should aim to get to Mutianyu ASAP. How long will we spend at the wall, and is there anything else worth doing between Mutianyu and the airport ?

Just starting to think if we leave the hotel at 8am, would we be better off making for the 4.30pm flight rather than booking the 6.30pm?
I think you'll be fine with the 430p flight. If you grab lunch up there at 1, and head to the airport at 2, you'll have plenty of time to check in and make your way to the gate. There is cold beer in the lounge, but it's not very nice beer (Tsingtao, Carlsberg, Asahi, Budweiser).
