The direct day train from Munich to Budapest is an RJ (Railjet) train - a brand new (Dec 2008) Austrian train. It is not really faster than the previous service, but it has three classes (including a premium first class). Second class has airline-style seating. The seven-hour journey can get a bit tiresome if you don't like train rides.

Flying time MUC to BUD rarely exceeds one hour.
