What percent of the normal airfare is it for friends and family to fly on American Airlines?

Richard S asked:


I want to fly to Recife, Brazil from Hawaii. A contact of mine who works for American Airlines says he can get me a friends and family ticket, sometimes called a buddy ticket, to fly on American for a big discount. He says the round trip ticket will cost me about $600. Someone else told me they thought that was too much as those type of tickets are usually 10 percent of the normal fare. So, does American Airlines have these types of tickets, and if so, what is the percentage of the normal fare that they are? Someone else said those tickets only cost what the taxes are. That being the case, what would my ticket to Brazil from Hawaii cost on that basis? Thanks.
