Thank you and yes, I would like to be there 2h before departure, too, but that’s the first Maglev available and I don’t want to risk getting a taxi. I had a return meet and greet transfer booked but they cancelled on me so not going to risk another unreliable taxi, public transport seems safer. It beats me though, why they don’t have earlier trains to the airport, 06:45 for the first departure seems to me excessively late. And the first metro line 2 arrives at PVG also after 7am..
