I will arrive the airport at 5:20 am and want to take a 9 am bullet train from West Railway Station. There's an airport express train that departs from the airport at 6:21 am but I don't know how long it usually takes to clear custom and pick up bags. Will I make the airport express train? How often does the express train come? If I don't make the express train, then I would have to take shuttle bus #7. How long is the ride? Would I make it for my 9 am bullet train. I still need to pick up my e-train ticket from the train station.

It takes around 1.5h to West Train Station by shuttle bus lin 7. As for your case, you may meet the rush hour, so it may take longer. Generally, you may spend at least half an hour on clear customs and lugagge pick-up. After that, it is suggested to take Express Train to Dongzhimen, and then transfer to local subway to catch your train. Time is a little tight, so you need to hurry up!By the way, there is no e-train ticket at all. It is a little paper. So you'd better make sure to get that in advance. Otherwise, you may have no choice but to change another train.

Thanks! So would you take the 9 am bullet train or the 10 am bullet train if you were arriving at 5:20 am to the airport?

To be honest, it is suggested to take the train at aroud 10am, so that you do not need to worry about the time problem.
