It can vary considerably depending on which airline's miles you are redeeming. For one example, take a look at AA's distance-based oneworld award redemption chart:

you should be able to find this info on the website of the program you are looking to use the miles from.

United for example has it right on their Star Alliance award chart.
Y-180K C-260K F-350K

Also keep in mind that there are limits on segments, stopovers, miles travelled, etc.
