Buy-to-let is buying a property with the sole intention of letting it out for a profit, and fly-to-let is doing this abroad. Look here for a more detailed explanation of Buy to Let.
In most buy and fly-to-let transactions the aim is that the income from the rentals of the property will cover some or all of the mortgage repayments. Buy-to-let landlords who buy properties in their own country will want all the repayments covered, whilst fly-to-let owners can balance how much of the repayments are covered with how much they want to use the property for their own holidays.

Going by the impending gloom predicted by British Airways CEO, Willie Walsh in a recent article on the Guardian, the highly profitable European fly-to-let boom will soon trickle dry as he declared the end of the era of cheap air travel due to a continuous increase in oil prices.
Alarmingly the cost of a barrel of oil stood at $65 only a year ago but has since risen to over $135 a barrel. This is more than double the price and is not likely to stop there either.
Travellers used to a quick jet off to the sunnier climes of Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and the like, could soon find themselves at the longer end of the deal, no longer able to afford to travel to their rental properties overseas.
