Shanghai to Beijing flight

Sorry for revisiting a much discussed topic, but with the new Terminal and constant changes.....Any thoughts on a preferred airline and best time of day for a one way from Shanghai to Beijing in mid May? Comfort and ease of travel are most important to us. Thanks so much!

When flying in the reverse direction, I think T2 will suffice (the Kenny Rogers and BK only help us during our outbound delays).

I'm between flying MU or CA. The CA985 flies out of PVG while MU5107 departs from SHA. Also, I've just learned that seats are not assigned til check in at the airport, even in F. Any thoughts? Again, many thanks for all your help!

Unless staying really close to the Maglev station (e.g. Jinjiang Sofitel), SHA is probably more convenient.

Thanks, moondog and rkkwan for your help! I'm probably going to book the MU flight out of SHA. But not able to confirm seat assignments. Is that typical on domestic flights?
