3 pairs of them are running between Beijing Railway Station/West Railway Station and Hefei Railway Station. Among all of them, T63/T64 and Z225/Z227 take the shortest time of 9.5 – 11.5 hours. If possible, you are advised to take them as your first choices. Besides, overnight sleeper trains including Z225/Z227, and K1071/K1072 are highly recommended as they depart in the afternoon or evening and arrive in the next morning, saving the day time and one-night accommodation fee. If you take any of them, you’d better purchase a soft sleeper or hard sleeper berth in advance. With a sleeper berth, you can have a good rest at night and save energy for the activities next day.
Direct flights from Hefei to Beijing and vice versa are available daily. Beijing to Hefei flights takes about 2 hours for a single journey. However, the airports are a little far from the downtown area, and the travel time to/from the airport may take over an hour. Passengers are also required to arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to the boarding time. In this case, the total travel time by flight may be 6 hours or so. Also, flight delays can be easily cased due to weather change or air traffic control.
High speed rail service usually takes 4 - 5 hours between the two cities and they are punctual in most cases. Compared with flights, bullet trains will be a preferable choice because of their punctuality and more competitive ticket price. Rail ticket fare is fixed all the time, but flight ticket price fluctuates frequently, especially in peak season, flight costs more than rail. What’s more, high speed train provides more leg room, which provides more pleasant travel experience.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The detailed price depends on the train type and seat class. For second class seats on high speed type, it should be CNY436 per ticket for adult. According to the railway company's policy, the child under 120cm can board for free by sharing the seat with adult and the child under 150cm can buy child ticket with a discount 50% off. You can check the height of two children to see if you need to buy tickets or not. Thank you.
