salzburg to Krakow

We will be traveling from Salzburg city (hear HBF train) to Krakow city (near Glowing train) on a Saturday in September.
We are trying to decide on train with several changes, overnight train or a flight.

Any suggestions what has worked well for you?

You dont have to read Ryan's fine print. Because the post it big as day. Nothing deceptive about it.

I have been told this week that true "travelers" see Europe by train. But I would find the best air route (cost and time) and be happy being a true "tourist".

Wow. It looks like the best daytime train option is over 8 hours with one change. I like trains, but not that much.

Overnight train is around 10 hours with 11 intervening stops. I would think about trying but only if I could get a get a sleeping compartment.

I most likely would go train to Munich or Vienna and then take a flight. Flying out of the Salzburg airport tends to be a pricey proposition.

Not all doom and gloomy but does depend on the date. Munich airport is 2 hours and the direct flight is under 2 hours. Or from Sakzburg with one change in about 5 hours. I would do either before sitting in a train for 8 hours. But it's a preference thing.
