Have a look at www.lot.com for flights. Prices range from €70 upwards.
The train takes about 8 hours. I don't what it costs though. http://www.polrail.com/ should tell you.

I've been researching this too. From the LOT site, I conclude that there are no direct flights between Krakow and Gdansk -- everything involves a change of planes in Warsaw.
For the dates I've been looking at, the shortest travel time by air seems to be 3:10, including a 1:15 time to change planes in Warsaw. That feels tight to me; I like to allow for late flights & my own confusion. The next shortest total time is 4:45. Prices in dollars appear to range from about $100 to about $160.

Hi; Use www.kayak.com/ and I think you will find a non-stop from Krakow to Gdansk. Takes 1 1/2 hours. I looked at these two dates, not knowing your dates. Aug. 4th $129---Aug. 18th $129. one way. RT using those two dates, it was $249. It's on Jet Air. Dick

Even with a stopover in Warsaw it has to be better than 8 hours on a train. 75 minutes seems like plenty of time for a connecting flight, with the same airline. If it wasn't legal they wouldn't offer it.

Wow, thanks, iris1745 -- didn't occur to me that there would be a carrier offering better service inside Poland than LOT. I don't know anything about JetAir Poland or Wegolo.com (the website through which JetAir seems to book), but will investigate.
Hetismij, yes, I agree generally about flying v. train. As for whether 75 min is a long-enough connecting time, it's a matter of personal preference. As I said, I like to allow for lateness & confusion.

I will also look into the flight choices. We found a train leaving around midnight and arrival to Gdansk at 1pm. The bonus is a sleeper car and saving on the hotel for a night.
Thank you so very much,
Sunny

I tried the jet air site..for my computer it was very slow and I could not access the region choice but, they responded quickly with my concerns and I will try again. Our direct flight from London to Krakow on British air was cancelled today.. 
(
Has anyone flown ez air? out of London to Poland?

Hi; WWW.EASYJET.COM/ flys non-stop from London to Krakow. WWW.WIZZAIR.COM/ flys non-stop from Gdansk to a London airport. Use www.kayak.com/ for a review. Dick

we have our tickets for noon out of Luton airport north of London, on Easy Jet direct. We arrive at 3:25. I estimated the cost to be around $105US per person. That is if we stick to the baggage and weight restrictions!
