Last I checked (bored over the Pacific several months ago), the 744 with GE CF6-80C2B5F engines can take off at max GTOW (398.9 Tonnes) at 40 deg C at any airport normally served by the 744 (I believe Quito was an exception, but it never gets to 40 deg there). Other engines may impose restrictions.
