Can you buy P20 in US?

We normally buy P20 at airport but I believe it will be covered by the current restrictions. I read that you can buy perfume but you pick it up on your return.

My husband found this product useful for his endless rounds of golf he plays whilst in sunnier climes. I know Superdrug sell it in 50ml sizes so I could get that for the first couple of days but would need to find a larger bottle for the rest of the time.

All this last minute preparation, it's no wonder I'm frazzled by the time I get to the plane:)

I'm sure I've seen it for sale duty free on the plane but I don't remember seeing it for sale in Florida.

If you've booked your flight, try the airline's website to see if they have any info about what's available via their own duty free.

I would suggest you buy it here and put it in your Checked in baggage.

I bought my last supply in Asda as it was cheaper.

my husband uses it too he usually gets it before he goes on holiday, and i think superdrug sell a larger bottle and it usually lasts the whole holiday. pat

Wilinsons were the cheapest last year at around £13 for the 200ml bottle, you'll have to check that size in or you can buy 2 100ml bottles and put them in your clear bag for carry on (personally I think if it was me I'd do that because if it leaks in your checked luggage it will really stain your clothes. As long as they fit in your ziplock type bag you'll be fine but if you take a half empty 200ml bottle that will be confiscated, as none of the containers must be capable of holding more than 100ml.

When this first happened you could buy make up and suncream etc and pick it up as you boarded the plane same as with the drinks so it might be worth checking to see if thats possible.

We've not found P20 in the US for sale at all yet.

Thanks for that info, looks like I'm off to Willkinsons and Asda to look for 200ml bottles.

I use an empty tablet size soap powder boxes to get two bone china mugs out to Florida for my tea [:I] Showing my age now, I used to buy them out there but now take them over each time. The P20 bottle could go in there and hopefully will survive the journey.

I'll also check Virgins website to see if they stock it on the plane. I've already sent an email asking for confirmation that it's ok to check aerosoles into the hold. DH is very fussy about the make of deodarant spray he uses.

He keeps spraying on the Lynx hasn't quite had the same effect as the adverts but he lives in hope.[msnwink]

THey sell Lynx in the US -under a different name though -think its AXE or something.
I used to be like you, I used to pack everything for every comfort for everyone whilst away [I had a wry smile over the bone China mugs -been there -took a Cup and Saucer for my Mum in law once!]
However, since owning my home there, I have every comfort needed [hopefully my guests do too!!] and have found they sell everything I have lugged over for years -so take a good look around Publix if they don't have your requirements in the villa you stay in -tough luck if you are in a hotel!! :D :D

Yes I've seen Axe in Walmart but as I said he's very fussy about the brands he uses, if I can get the Lynx out there he would prefer it. Still no reply from Virgin except for the automated response one.

Afraid I have to use a fine bone china mug so will always take one/two away with me then I'm happy:) Well if you're taking the teabags why not the mugs;)

Managed to find someone selling P20 on Ebay in 100ml sizes so DH can take it onboard as part of his allowance.

they dont sell it over there but if you buy it at the airport after you have gone through the security checks you will be fine. we also use P20 fantastic product though when I came back recently from orlando Iwent to wilkinsons and saw it for 5 pounds cheaper, oh well next time.

Price in Wilkinson's for P20 was £18 200ml, Ebay 4 x 100ml £30 incl p&p. DH wants to pack it rather than carry it in his handlugge[V] as he says it survived Royal Mail treatment it should be ok.

I daren't risk buying it from ebay, Bargainqueen, as my daughter can only use the original one so unless I see it on the box it's false economy, if she can't use it.

excuse my ignorance but what is P20?

Once day sun filter, excellent!
It bonds with your skin and does not need reapplication unless you wash it off with hot water and soap.

We use this even in desert heat and have never burned[msnsmile]

I've been using this for many years, I can't use normal suncream as my skin comes up like bubble wrap. No problems with this except that I sometimes miss a spot on the back of my shoulders if I'm applying it myself and I get a weird shape sunburn. You have to apply it at least an hour before you go into the sun and it can stain fabric. My husbands white golf socks get stained but I wash them by hand first before putting them into machine and it comes off.

My four containers didn't come in boxes so I don't know if it's original or the new formula (ingredients - alcohol denat,aqua, propylene glycol, PABA,hydroxypropyl methycellulose) Also took lid of to do a smell test and noticed that it has a male to female connector (I think that's the best way to describe it using electrical terms) so it should travel ok as the unit would become sealed when the lid is tightened.

I swear by P20, better that Piz Buin Allergy. Normally do a search on the net as it is easier for me to have it delivered to the door rather than going into town. Never bought it on ebay though, always sites that say 'genuine product' etc. It is fine in the hold luggage (never had problems so far), so long as it is in a plastic bag.

It certainly smells the same but the only test is when he uses it, I don't need to use it as you don't burn that much walking from car to shop[msnwink] Will report back on our return.

Received a reply from Virgin today apologising for delay, confirming that you can take aerosoles in your cabin baggage and giving link to latest news on what can and can't be taken onboard.

Sent a reply back pointing out that aerosoles are 150ml plus so they hadn't answered my original querry.

I did ring Virgin yesterday to book my sister's car from Gatwick, when my husband booked her ticket he was told that we could all use the car. I wasn't sure so decided to confirm and found that you are restricted to 4 suitcases as all luggage has to go in boot and not on the leather unholstery. (guess who's going in car with sister:D well I cant leave her by herself for the whole journey, can I)

I mentioned that I hadn't had a reply from customer services and she said that she thought that aerosoles had to go into the hold so now I'm totally confused. Mind you she did sound young and seemed to agree with everything I said so I'm still not confident about her reply.

Two years ago I found some cans of spray oil for cooking eggs, I wasn't sure but as they it came out as foam I packed some in my hold baggage. When I unpacked they had been removed and a sip of paper quoting why and a website to look at. From memory it was because they were flamable and the same sign is on the deodarant can.

Looks like DH will have to use Axe for two weeks unless any one else does pack deodarant cans in the hold cases.

Sorry to but in, but have any of you tried Prosport? Like P20 it is a once only application but unlike P20 it bonds to the skin in a couple of minutes instead of the 90 that P20 requires. We used to use P20 until we discovered Prosport (found it on another holiday forum) It is from the states so it should be available in Florida, although I tend to import it to the UK. I have not used it in Florida yet but have used it in Cyprus in August for the last couple of years. Just thought I would mention it in case some people are put off P20 due to the time it requires to bond to the skin.
