Deploying the 777-200LR to LHR is a DISTINCT possibility. Delta already sent two LRs to LHR last week. A premium product for a premium, network-centric flight makes sense assuming the numbers add up to justify it.
Only difference from the stated above change in equipment is the flight schedule is showing it to be a DL 764 (Flight 149).
Yes, a more detailed search shows that the FCO flights are being switched to a combination of 763ER and 764ER depending on day of week and season (Fall vs Winter). I've adjusted the comment in the original/first post. Should be the 764ER mostly during Sept/Oct, and then back to the 763ER during the winter.

I don't know how to get LHR to work for me since I use CDG and mostly AMS for connecting flights. Am I missing something?
It may be a minority view, but I wish these sleep-suites were on longer routes rather than USA-LHR.

You could route a connection through LHR but most likely, it will have to be on an interline carrier which means you will have to book it through a travel agent or a 3rd party website since delta.com does not list non-DL/AF/NW/KL flights...
Flat beds are on USA-LHR for competitive reasons. The UK-based carriers (BA, VS) are basically the only European carriers to have full-flat-bed Business cabins. From the pax point of view, having a bed seat on a short flight would help maximize the sleeping experience....
I knew about the sleeper suites on the true long hauls outside Europe, but not NRT where I'm going on October as I was originally on a 777 (ATL-NRT) but regular BE not the suites. So where does this flight originate?
