What is the cheapest buddy pass fare internationally?
Not sure where you are located but if you want to call it international but puerto rico would be cheapest. Also Mexico, Central and South America. this is all based on flights out of ATL.
Its fairly accurate but you can use the buddy pass calculator on travelnet. A quick look has most areas in Europe between $400-$500, $300-$400 for central america
A big part of cost is the exit taxes that are charged in most of europe.
Aisa will be between $650-$750. A lot of the time a confirmed seat is only $100-$200 more so you have to decide if (hopefully) being up front is worth possible delays getting stuck at a connecting airport.

Since they're based on mileage, the taxes/fees are factors.
Mexico is higher than some other countries due to the Tourism Tax and Departure Fee ($40-50) plus the usual.
Peru isn't cheap, either.
Some countries charge sep tax at the airport on exit--like Guatemala, Costa Rica Used to (haven't been for a while) and you need cash (now sometimes CC)
EZE and SCL have new $140 arrival fee (from States) of $140 (CC accepted) but sample fare is $500 ATL/SCL RT + that pesky fee, which is good for 10 yrs or life of passport.
HKG is cheap but has the mileage--same for NRT .
FRA was beastly @ $130 and ATH was $65 last week.
BCN is cheap @ $35--heading there next Monday. Loads are wide OPEN!!!
Those Asian fares under $1000 are west coast gateways, aren't they Tony?? (Of course, coach, too)
