There's also Finnair 321's doing HEL - LPA/TFS.

It appears this might be a record:
Now the similar length routes seem seem out of service: AB flying STR-AUH at 2579nm
There is another entry (I haven't confirmed), GF flying BAH-CDG: which is close at 2607sm
I fully expect longer flights soon on the A321NEO from HA. e.g., maybe HNL-DEN (discussed at purchase) of 2,924nm.
Of course we'll see longer flights with the A321LR, but that is a few years away.

As we can see from this KEF-TLV remains the longest, followed by the flight to STL, CDG-BAH, and AUH-STR. OVB-BKK follows those.

Slight correction, CDG-BAH and AUH-STR are both shorter than OVB-BKK. Due to Chinese airspace restriction, OVB-BKK may occasionally be the longest by actual distance flown.
YKS-DME on S7 is also quite long (flown by 738).

What's the mileage on that route?

QR too used to fly the a320 to LHR. That’s over 2800 miles.

That Service was not only once, but several times, always with their one and only A 321neo TF-SKY.

3750 nm, that's very impressive. Their A321neo (TF-SKY) is configured in a single class layout with 220 seats and CFM Leap-1A, correct? (Seatguru.com lists two different seat configurations for WOW A321s.)
The real world range of the A321neo indicates what we can expect from the A321LR. The A321LR is carrying just over 10% more fuel than an A321neo with two ACTs. The MTOW will be increased to compensate for that extra fuel, so there will be no reduction in payload.
Considering this new, real world performance data, it is realistic to assume that we regularly will see the A321LR with more than 200 passengers, flying for more than 9 hours (nonstop). This is a game changer.
At the press conference when Norwegian ordered 30 A321LR the CEO said that the A321LR had even better CASM than the 787, and then he added that with the A321LR 'we don't have to sell all those seats' (ref. Both yield per seat sold and utilization level of available seats).
