Found a sleeper that leaves Prague's main train station about 23:00 and arrives in Budapest about 8:30, but it looks like it has a couple of train numbers and about 10 stops. And of course there is no pricing or purchasing for this train online, though it looks like some others may be available.

I will arrive in BUD in late June and return from there on July 5, but plan on spending most if not all my time in Bratislava and Prague, perhaps some other parts of former Czechoslovakia (ya, ya, I know Budapest and Hungary are worth a visit as well).

Most likely will take bus or train to Bratislava as my flight arrives just after noon. But was thinking of the overnight sleeper for the way back, partly in order to save on one night's hotel.

Oh yes, my flight leaves BUD at 11:00, so that should give me more than enough time to get to the airport, especially since I only have carryon.

Don't speak Hungarian, Czech and Slovak should be no problem. And did send an email to [email protected], so we'll see what they have to say, if anything.
