Dry Lease vs Wet Lease
Hey guys,
Has anyone done their hour building on a dry/wet lease basis for a long journey?
I was all set for a dry lease with a very fair deal lined up but an instructor has strongly advised to secure a wet lease for my trip as fuel prices are more expensive in Europe.
Trying to research as much as possible so if anyone has experience of this or can make recommendations on companies that wet least please let me know!
Cheers

I'm happy to be corrected, but I'd suggest wet-lease. My reasoning is that clubs, schools, or whoever you hire from will normally buy "bulk" fuel at a reduced price. This is, to a degree, passed on to the customer.
Dry-lease, I very much doubt you'd be able to secure such prices from so many different FBO's, as you'll only be picking up 100 liters here and there... Unless you secure some hose-pipe, an airfield full of filled up aircraft and some Trebor soft mints...
