If you are inviting 747SP routes. . .then there is a clear winner.

Well, if you are talking in history, it was probably LAX-SYD with the 747SP. As far as now, BKK-FCO sounds good to me. I would guess that before they switched to a 744, QF's 743 BNE-AKL-LAX was pretty long.

I believe the following can be considered long routes:

I believe UA used to put their 741s on the LAX-NRT routes, and counting in the 747SPs, TWA operated their 747SPs from LAX-Tel Aviv. Also, TWA and Pan Am used the Boeing 747s on LAX-LHR, STL-CDG, STL-FRA, etc.

Currently?
AR's EZE-MAD sounds like a good candidate (in a C46Y356 config.). 12 hours.
IB switched from the 742/743 from MAD-EZE to the A346 in September 2003, although the occasional 747 Classic continued to show up in EZE until the end of the year:

QF's 743 never flew AKL-LAX regularly, there were a couple of 743's used for some reason back in 2002, no idea why though. QF never flew classics on AKL-LAX as far as i'm aware, I think they started MEL-AKL-LAX in 1994 with a 744.
LAX-AKL is 12:45 which NZ did daily with 742's which is fairly long!
