There are a lot of options -- transfer to Delta or BA or Ailitalia, among others -- and I'd love to get any advice on the best way to get a good flight. We're planning the trip way in advance so have plenty of lead time. Factors: quality of service, number of points required, availability of seats, whether flight is direct from the US, etc.

Where we leave from in the US is flexible, so doesn't really factor in.

Appreciate any assistance!
BA is the only one you mentioned with a first class cabin, but taxes are quite high. You should consider LH through one of their partners if you are interested in F. You can get F for 100,000 or J for 80,000.
