UCS on LHR-DEL overnight flight

Hi,

I'm flying Virgin for the first time in a couple of weeks. LHR-DEL in UC.

I've looked at v-flyer and read most of the fantastic trip reports on the new suites or the old seat on the Caribbean routes. I had a few questions for the DEL route.

1. Any seat recommendations for this 343 with the old seats? Also how comfortable are these seats for sleeping overnight...
2. Will PJ's be handed out on this route. (9pm departure from LHR). And is it true that the amenity kit is different/inferior on this flight from the new Boateng one?

3. I've never been to the Clubhouse before so:
-Is it airside?
-Can I get a haircut there?
-Is there any proper pre-flight dining?
-How early should I get there to be able to enjoy what all it offers?

4. Will this flight be a full hot dinner and hot breakfast?
5. When does one book the inflight massage. Is it in advance or onboard?
6. How early can/should I order the limo pick-up?
7. Any ideas what the loads are like on this route, especially in UC.
8. What's VS like with cabin baggage. Since I'm going for 3 days only I'm planning on not checking any luggage and carrying on a roll-away and a shoulder laptop bag as hand luggage. Would this be ok?

Thanks a heap in advance.

cheers
