I’m guessing we can get our Berlin -> Katowice train now?

Hi Luis,

I have also not been able to find good direct flights from SFO to something 
close. The closest options I found was Munich. Usually, rome2rio will be able 
to give a good estimate on the options, and that confirms my own findings. I 
found it myself most convenient to fly (with a single stopover) to Krakow and 
train from there.

Direct trains are probably your best bet. If trains have many services a day, 
I'm less worried about timeliness.
Options I looked into: flying to Krakow (1h train, with many options a day), 
Katowice, Warsaw (few hour train) or Prague (5h train).

Just in case that's helpful :)

Hey, all-
I'm trying to plan my Wikimania travel, and wondering if anyone has had better 
luck than I had. Specifically:

I've found recently that I prefer, instead of multiple flight connections, the 
closest direct flight I can from SFO and then train. For example, there is no 
direct SFO -> Stockholm, but you can direct SFO -> Copenhagen and then a 
pleasant train directly from the Copenhagen airport to Stockholm.

So far I am... not having much luck on this for Katowice. Looks like the best I 
can do is direct flight to Frankfurt and then multiple (3+ changes) trains from 
Frankfurt to Katowice. I worry about connections because neither the German nor 
Polish train systems seem to have a great reputation for timeliness and I'd 
hate to miss connections.

Anyone had better luck, or alternative suggestions in a similar vein?

Thanks in advance, and look forward to seeing some of you there-
Luis
