What is the maximum range one could travel with a single Portkey? Across the world? To the moon?
Answer
According to W.O.M.B.A.T., in order for portkeys to be arranged between countries, the consent of both Nations's Ministries of Magic may be required. (sourced from Wikia)
As such, you can clearly travel across long distances. Among the known uses:
France to Burrow (implied, there's a chance it was not a direct transport)
Mr. Weasley had therefore gone to meet the Delacours on top of a nearby hill, where they were to arrive by Portkey (DH - Ch 6, "The Ghoul In Pajamas").
Godric's Hollow to somewhere in Europe (wherever Grindelwald's home was)
“It was poor little Ariana dying, I think, that did it,” says Bathilda. “It came as an awful shock. Gellert was there in the house when it happened, and he came back to my house all of a dither, told me he wanted to go home the next day. Terribly distressed, you know. So I arranged a Portkey and that was the last I saw of him (DH - Ch. 19, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.
I was unable to find canon information beyond that, in the books, Pottermore or interviews (or Wikia :).
