Question about flight from Krakow to Berlin

Hello - I'm planning a solo trip to Krakow and Berlin. Is anyone aware of one-way, non-stop flights from those two cities (I'm not seeing any - just stops with a layover somewhere)? I'm traveling Sept. 9. If not, I'm considering take a coach bus (Flixbus).

I just looked at Kayak.com, and I see no non-stops between Krakow and Berlin. All flights seem to have at least one stop. Would you do better considering taking the train? Faster than a two-legged flight, not even taking into account the time getting to and from the airports.

Thanks for the replies. I've thought about taking the train, but I'm pretty sure there's not an overnight option, which the coach bus has. I'd prefer not to spend the whole on the train, but I'll consider it.

Are you really stretched for time? I might think about taking the train from Krakow to Wroclaw and spend a night there. Then take a train from Wroclaw to Berlin the next day. Train rides would be 3+ hrs on each leg so not an all day long slog. Even if you do it in one stretch the train between Krakow and Berlin is less than 7 hrs so not really that bad. If there's an early morning train you would be in Berlin mid-afternoon.

I'm one of those people who would take just about any train ride under 8 hrs if it would avoid two airports.

There is a night train at 2224 which arrives at Krzyz at 0600. Regional train from there to Kostrzyn, change for a regional train to Berlin Lichtenberg.

The night train conveys sleeper cars and couchette cars, and is headed for Swinoujscie. The train starts 3 hours beyond Krakow Glowny, so only has a 5 minute pick up at Krakow.

There is also a 0030 train to Warsaw a 0415 (sleeper and seated cars), change for the 0505 Euro City train to Berlin Hbf- arrive 1006

Thanks everyone for the ideas! I'll look into taking the train and splitting up the trip.
