00ReplyThere will be airport shuttle bus between beijing airport and railway stations in Beijing. You can also use subway, but no direct line. Not sure about train time you mentioned, but you can check on this website by your date. Train schedule hardly change.
Personally speaking, the most economy way maybe an overnight train to Datong as it save one night hotel cost. But it depends on your flight time. End Oct should not be a hot season.
