A lot of the WAW traffic is VFR while the BUD and PRG traffic is tourism. This means that the WAW traffic is coming from more specific regions of the US (particularly ORD and NYC) while the BUD and PRG traffic is more spread out. WAW only has more traffic than PRG and BUD from 2 US cities: ORD and NYC. ORD and NYC already have nonstop service to WAW, so PRG and BUD make more sense.
