BKK or SIN from SEA it would be no problem. JNB to ATL is about 7800 miles, Bombay to ATL was a little more I think and we were doing that all the time. I was told the 777LR can connect any two cities on the planet nonstop. I know it caries over 21 hours of fuel on board, multiply that by about 480kts true and that's about 10,000 miles nonstop.
