A fully loaded 744 is always heavy no matter where it flies from. The trick is that after 15 hours in the air, the 744 only weighs half as much as at take-off. A 744 arriving from SYD with empty tanks can land in SJC with no problems, but a 744 with full tanks cannot take off from SJC bound for TLV.
