Any good sources for cheap Sharm flights (from the UK)? The best I have found so far is almost twice what i paid last year.

You can check whether flights to Cairo are substancially cheaper (You'll find more companies who have regular flights to Cairo...). Then you can take a bus from Cairo to Sharm.
The pros: it is cheaper and part of the way has realy nice views. You can also combine a day or two in Cairo which is a wonderful city and has got lots of nice things to see.
The cons: Bus to Sharm takes lots of hours. Egyptians tend to smoke on buses...If you're planning a trip in winter the road(s) can be closed after heavy rains for several days because of floods...(Although it is a desert, Sinai's peaks can get covered by snow in winter, and when it rains continuously for several hours it will usually flood the big Wadis and damage the roads)
