Flight Experience
British Airways' Club Suites product is a big step up from their old business class offering. The Club Suites cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout. Each seat is lie-flat and has a privacy door (it's pretty short though).
It's always worth double-checking to confirm the aircraft has Club Suites.
Please note that seat selection is not free until check-in unless you have Oneworld Sapphire or Emerald status.

Best Ways To Book
To get the cash fare down to $1,951, you'll need to book via AARP and add the promo code CHASEBA10. You'll need to log into your BA account before you can add the promo code.
If you don't have an AARP account, it's only $12 but you can go through the shopping portal TopCashback and get $12.60 back. I guess they really want people to join AARP!

Where To Credit The Flights
The long-haul segment books into I ("eye") fare class while the connection books into J. You can use Where To Credit to check which options would earn the most miles or help you earn elite status.
If elite status is a priority, credit your flights to your preferred oneworld program. If you want to earn miles, I would consider Alaska Mileage Plan, American AAdvantage, or British Airways Executive Club.
Use GCMap to check the flight distance and calculate redeemable miles.
