yes - my posts were excluding the SPs which were able to do the SYD-SFO and SYD-LAXs non stop. I'm not sure if the SPs were ever configured for 'high-density' first class?

A bit more research last night showed Alitalia was flying 11 and 12 hour sectors in their 747-200s in 1990, including Rome to Rio. But Rome to Tokyo (6 x a week) was either via Moscow or Delhi.
