beijing to tianjin during national holiday

Question

HiMy wife and I are travelling to China. Towards the end of our trip we will be in Beijing. Our return flight is from Tianjin at 9am on October 1. I have read that its national holidays. Will I be able to get a train on the morning of October 1 from Beijing to Tianjin that will get me to the Tianjin airport by 7.30am? This is considering the everyone might be travelling on that day and taking traffic into account.Also, where can I find if there will be more trains during this time and where can I book it?

It is difficult for you to get to the Tianjin airport by 07:30. In spite of time, the shuttle bus from Beijing to Tianjin Airport start at 10:20 everyday. If you take the train from Beijing South Railway Station to Tianjin Railway Station, the first train arrive in Tianjin is at about 07:03 and then you still need about 30-40 minutes to arrive at the airport. It will be rush for you. So I advise you to go to Tianjin the day before and stay a night in Tianjin and then everything will be OK.
