Back in the day....
It is not recent, but in '81 NW used a 747-200 from Spokane to SEA. Spokane was stop from MSP-SEA.

LGA JFK - 10mls on Delta MD80 a few yeas ago. Not scheduled though. One engine blew on take-off from LGA and we landed straight into JFK.

PIT to IAD on a 777 due to weather diversion from DEN. I was lucky enough to hop on the flight from PIT as standby. Also got to sit in Business--pretty good compared to the CRJ scheduled.

Admittedly it's a code-share but UA code-shares an NH flight from NRT-NGO which is 194 miles, on a 763. And NRT-KIX (284 miles) on a 773.
NH has myriad flights from HND-ITM (249 miles), and other, slightly-longer, TYO-OSA combinations (NRT-ITM, NRT-KIX, HND-KIX) on 744s.
