As for the cab from the hotel to the airport, can I assume that hotel staff will get me in a metered (non-scam) cab and what wait time should I expect in Wangfujing?
Sorry for all these questions, I'm a first-time visitor to PEK...
Saturday night, ask the hotel to reserve a normal taxi for you at 745a Sunday. I am very confident that they can pull this off, but feel free to join our Wechat group (my Wechat ID is moondogsh and I can put you in the group in short order) if you want our real time assurances.
Your driver might decide to use 5th Ring (instead of 3rd Ring) if the traffic is heavy. This only adds around Y10 to the fare, so just trust his judgement.
