PORTUGAL is proving more popular than Turkey with Euro-mad Wanderers fans.

Inquiries for travel packages for the Whites' UEFA Cup game against Vitoria Guimaraes on November 24 are outnumbering those for the Besiktas game later this month by more than three to one.

Local travel agents SAT are planning to charter four planes for the Portugal game compared to the one they are taking to Istanbul.

"We're getting three times as many inquiries for the packages we're offering for the Guimaraes game," SAT's sales and marketing director, Paul Sutton said.
