Portland (PDX) to London (Any airport) - Recommended Routing in Y

Hello,

Have an upcoming trip to London and currently living in Portland, OR. Was checking flight options and seems most of the flights are atleast 1 stop other than a Delta flight which seems to be on an older aircraft (767-300).

Considering I will be flying in Y, was wondering which are the more comfortable options. From an ffp standpoint, am ok with flying Skyteam or Star Alliance. I cannot transit in Canada as need a transit visa, so that option is out.

I see some options like :

Direct with Delta - B767-300
Via Seattle with Delta & Virgin Atlantic - B787-9
Via San Francisco with Delta or United - (B767 or B747)
Via Amsterdam with Delta & KLM - A330-200

Considering travel in Y, which would be a comfortable option. While I am ok to transit, I am ofcourse looking to minimize layovers and total travel time and the above routing's seem between 10-14 hours.

Seems there are very few options in B787 or A388 in this route even from the bigger airports !

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks, A

Seems the 763 in this route is quite decent from what i heard, so may possibly take that..
Else short transit's are also not too bad since we need miles / leg's to get some ffp status's too
