I would prefer to fly CA just to stay in *A. But the ticket price is $75 vs $300 per person. Got the family, so it adds up fast.

Given that I want to save money, how long should I allow for the connection?

I could also take the train. Similar price as MU (though kids are half price). But getting to Beijing West at 130 PM and then taking a taxi / bus to the airport didn't sound so fun.
