I think overall going to the airport, the saving is up to 30 mins.
On the way back from the airport, I usually grab a beer at Crocus, and summon a didi from there.

Going to the airport is a different beast because I typically fly out in the mornings. I endured the subway last time, and it wasn't awful. I honestly don't think subway + Maglev is much better.
