It depends of the engines thrust rate and maximum certified take-off weight of particular aircraft. There are many weights available, and the difference could be as much as 2.5 hours range. I would say generally that A320 with 77000 kgs certified MTOW would make a 6 hours flight with a full payload without problems. Sure there are many other conditions should be taken into account, number one for SSH would be a ground temperature.
