can i fly direct from london to eilat?
Searches on www.expedia.co.uk and www.skyscanner.net would indicate it is not possible to fly direct.
Only traffic to/from Eilat Airport is from/to Tel Aviv.
Check with your local travel agency. Most flights to/from Eilat are charter flights only and them mostly from northern Europe/Scandanavia.
There are charter flights, mostly from northern Europe, to Ovda airport - about 60 km north of Eilat (not to be confused with Eilat's airport, which handles domestic flights). All flights arriving there include a prearranged bus transfer to Eilat, since it is in the middle of nowhere with no public transport. As for London, I don't know. Personally, I have never heard of direct flights from London to the Eilat area.
We spent a couple of evenings here as the sun set. It has good swimming and great views of the Jordanian mountains. The mountains seem to change color every few minutes as the sun sets. There are some good beach bars here, that play chilled out music as the night approaches.
The Red sea Jazz is an event that occurs every August.
A lo of jezz fans come to Eilat to enjoy 3 days of jazz music with famous bands and local bands.
A ticket to all shows will cost something like 1000 nis and a ticket to 1 show will cost somehting like 150-200 nis.
In Eilat there is a curious round building not to far from the Jordanian border...it is called the Airodium..here you learn to fly like a bird..a rather HEAVY bird in my case, but a bird nevertheless...this is the class where they teach you how to do it.
in Many of Eilat beaches you find most kind of water sports you think of. Normally its in the central beaches unless if you want to dive then most of the diving schools and clubs are in the southern beaches.
A little known place not far from Eilat offer you a great view of a flock of 300-400 flamingos. Instead of going all the way to Africa, these flamingos stay here all year round.
To get here, you need to drive north from Eilat on road number 90. A little after the customs checkpoint, look for a brown sign with the name "Sharsheret Wells". This should be on the right side of the road. Take a right turn onto the dirt road and follow the signs for the flamingo viewpoint. These signs are in Hebrew but you can see a little bird (not a flamingo!) on the top left corner of the sign and an arrow pointing to the viewpont. Eventually you get to some pools separated by dirt dykes. The flamingos are right here. You can get with your car all the way to the pools, no need for a 4x4 car.

Q: Walking distance? "Does anyone know how far it is from the border crossing at Taba to the Underwater observatory in Eilat?...and are there taxis..."
A: "It's about 2km from the Eilat side of the Taba crossing to the Observatory - if you look on Google maps both are marked. There's a bit of "no man's land" between the Taba..."
