FLT stands for "faster-than-light travel" specifically, while FTL is used in other sentences involving "faster-than-light", like FTL drive, or even FTL travel.
I've really never (until this thread, at least) seen FLT used instead of FTL travel. Usually, the context is clear enough that the "travel" part can be omitted anyway.
