Note that there is another route with a change in Breclav that takes roughly the same time (however connection time is very short so I wouldn't recommend this option).
Tickets should be available for sale up to 180 days prior to departure.
There are frequent trains throughout the day (every 2h).
Book your ticket several days/weeks ahead to benefit from best pricing (booking within a couple of days before departure can have prices as high as 40-50€).
