Train station = 25 minutes v. airport = 50 minutes. I would fly on that route.

The trip time in May Beijing-Hangzhou is unknown.

It is unknown because a high speed railway is under construction between Nanjing and Hangzhou. It is due to open in February 2013, in unknown year.

The schedule of Nanjing-Hangzhou high speed railway is also unknown, which is why the trip time Beijing-Hangzhou is unknown.

Wait until at least end of March or beginning of April and see if the Beijing-Hangzhou bullet train line is running. Too early to make a decision right now, and also too early to book a domestic flight for May.
