Need 6 coach tickets March 18-29. The usual travel websites all show around $460 per ticket on CX. There has to be a cheaper way to fly this short route. Any suggestion on Asian consolidators or other alternatives is appreciated.</font>

Also, since you need the tickets in March, I would suggest you not bother checking/buying them until you are in HKG. There are literally one flight at every hour to TPE (CX only, not including CI, BR, KA, TG, SQ......etc). So, the point is, the deal is to be had when you get to HKG. I once took RT in Y on BA (no longer in service) for a mere $1200HK. Fares are usually around that neighbourhood.

While not the cheapest, but the Wing On Travel website provides you with a ballpark number of what local fare are like.
