a) maybe august is not a peak month in hk, but it certainly is in japan and korea. given that many airlines that offer fares from the us to hk tranist in japan or korea, this could be a factor, though shouldn't be the end of the world for the op
b) yes, a departure city would help. if you're flying from a gateway, you'll have a lot of flexibilty in terms of low fare options, but if you have to fly from a market not served by asian airlines, then you might be stuck with ua, nw, or co.
c) i wasn't trying to suggest that the op was challenged insofar as internet use was concerned, but that travel agents do a much better job at finding good tpac fares than orbitz, expedia et al.
