We travel from Budapest to Vienna on Monday, May 21.
Looks like I have us staying near the wrong train station. We need to get to Budapest Keleti P for the train to Vienna. It's here. We can cancel Radisson Blu, but the Novotel Centrum (which is walking distance from the right train station) is sold out. On the plus side, the Centrum is a little harder to get to from the airport. My bad, I screwed this up.
We can take the 6 tram east/south from Otakon towards Móricz Zsigmond körtér felé . Get off at Blaha Lujza tér red line metro station. Take that towards Örs vezér tere M+H, get off at Keleti pályaudvar - the train station.
Link to the public transportation website.
For $17 each, we can get unlimited rides on the buses, trams, and metros for 72 hours.
Trains leave every 2 hours on the 10s. 9:10, 11:10, 1:10 and take 2.5 hours to Vienna. We can get into our place at 3:15. I think we aim for the 11:10 or 1:10.

Budapest Airport to Hotel
Our flight gets into Liszt Ferenc International Airport Terminal 2a at 8:50 am.
We can't check into the Radisson Blu until 2 pm. The hotel doesn't appear to offer transportation from the airport. It is in Zone 6.
Zona Taxi runs from the airport to Zones 1-4. It costs $25 for the two of us, but I'm not sure if it will go to our hotel.
For $20, we can take a shuttle. Basically we tell the driver where we want to go, and when the shuttle van is full, it leaves the airport. It may go all over the city, depending on who else is on board.
Or we can take bus 200E to the blue line metro station Kobánya-Kispest. From there, we ride the blue line to Nyugati pályaudvar, (the main train station) then walk a little southeast down Terez Korut Street to our hotel. It will probably take about an hour. Transit pass is $2.50 each. I assume we'll need one for the bus and one for the train. I imagine there's a public transit pass we can buy for our 3 days there if we think we'll need it.
It looks like we can also take bus 200E from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. From there, we get on Személy train towards Nyugati pályaudvar. Trains leave every half hour and cost $1.75.
I think we should plan to take the bus to the blue line. Hopefully we can buy one pass for both.
