there are a couple three hundred countries to buy from, and at least a dozen different paired alliances. now multiply in some 10 or 20 routes so the list must be over 1000 and maybe even 10,000.
if you are a us citizen, after you find the best buy, you may find you cannot go there.

You can check the fares on Expertflyer for each country of origin/purchase. The variation is mostly due to currency fluctuations, and not being in the US.
