Also, my other question is are BA doing a kit like VS were doing (with two masks and hand santiser packets)?

That would be in the enhanced hygiene pack.

This is the mess that has confused people in to thinking the policy was reverted.

BA Twitter have also told Simon Calder that they have not gone back on their mask removal, and that they are optional dependent on destination. Woohoo!

Not like MOL to chuck out a soundbite or two (though he does raise very valid points in other areas).

We will close this thread in view of discussions of a similar theme taking place elsewhere in the forum. Several recent posts here have already been transferred over to the other thread (linked below)
