Longhaul planes

Which airlines now have longhaul planes and how are they used?

A340-500:
Singapore (as far as SIN-EWR, being refitted from 181 seats, 64 business, 117 premium economy to 100 seat all business)

Thai (includes the one and only HGW; as far as BKK-JFK; IIRC 215 seats, 60 business, 42 premium economy, 113 economy; no news of being refitted)

Emirates (has first class suites)
Etihad
TAM

B777-200LR:
PIA (business, premium economy and economy)
Air India (238 seats in 8F, 35J, 195Y; has BOM-JFK and DEL-JFK)
Emirates
Air Canada
Delta (276 seats in 43J, 233Y... no First Class, while Air India has exactly 43 seats in First and Business combined... BOM-JFK is flown by both Air India and Delta with exact same planes)

I think Eva Air has had no deliveries yet.

What are the longest routes of each longhaul plane operator other than SQ and Thai mentioned above?

777-200LR is supposed to have longer range than 340-500. How come that no 777-200LR operator seems to fly any longer routes than SQ and TG are doing on A340-500?

How do the ranges of B747-400ER, A340-600HGW, B777-300ER and A380-800 compare?
