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.
Completely agree with moondog, try to avoid different terminals. Are you using ctrip, elong or Air China's site to get your airfare? Do no rely on any travel site not based in China to get the best prices for domestic flights.
