I cannot figure out the best option to go from LUX Airport to Trier. It looks like about a 40 minute cab ride but it is in a different country. Is the train or bus a better option?

I did this several years ago. I took the bus from the airport to the train station. Quick train ride to Trier and then a taxi for the last part. Pretty easy and straightforward. Toughest part could have been communicating with the taxi driver.. I had the hotel address written down to show him. No problem with that.
Enjoy the tour!

Oops. Forgot to add. At the time the bus stop is just past the train station. You should see it on the left hand side of the bus.

I arranged for a shuttle. The driver met me at the airport and dropped me off in front of the hotel. Very convenient. The driver didn’t speak much English but knew the destination from my reservation. Good advice to write the hotel address on a 3x5 card. Enjoy the tour.

There should be directions and options in the tour materials.

What Rocket said. Bus to Luxembourg train station, train to Trier.

If you have the time and energy, it's kind of a fun walk from the Trier train station to the hotel if you're staying at the Residenz Hotel Am Zuckerberg. You'll get to walk through the town/plaza with all the shops and restaurants. That's where I tried my first Currywurst...and loved it!
By the way, the hotel is kind of a trip. The bathrooms are very odd, akin to gym locker rooms with a tile floor. The facility doubles as a retirement community. Wasn't one of my favorite hotels on the GAS tour, but it served its purpose, the staff was very nice, and breakfasts were good.

bus and train as described above is easy and would be my choice.
