I'll echo what everyone else has already said. For domestic, forget about it, you are much better off buying a ticket.
The ONLY time they are a good deal and have a remote chance of working is on int'l flights where your buddy gets first class. If anyone asks if we have passes for friends I just tell them we don't have anything like that.

That was canceled. Sent a friends 18 year old son to Europe. Told them not to expect much. Got first class on the domestic leg and D1 on the international. I couldn't get first on the same domestic legs! Kid told dad he refuses to ever fly coach again!

I always thought buddy passes worked like regular non-revving excpet that you had to pay taxes and fees.
I just tried to book two buddy passes for roundtrip US->Europe travel and the charge is $564 per ticket for a total of $1128.
Is this normal? Are buddy passes really just reduced fares?
It seems like just buying a ticket outright on another airline would be cheaper.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks.
