The best I could do was a rough tie between LIM-EWR/YYZ and LAD-CDG, each of which is around 8 hours. Apparently there aren't any direct flights between Perth and Beijing, St. Petersburg and Dar Es Salaam, or Jo'burg and Helsinki. Go figure.

Can anyone do any better?
LIM-YYZ is 3850 mi, LIM-EWR is 3650, LAD-CDG is 4054, you mentioned all these.

Try IST-JNB on TK, 4641. Best I can do.
