In that case, your departing flight would definitely be delayed as well.

Out of the last 10 or so flights I took from Shanghai. I think only two departed on time.

So I guess even if it's that bad, the outbound would probably be delayed also.

Many times I would have been better off taking the high speed rail instead.
