Fly standby means to fly without having reserved the tickets before.
on standby:1-Ready to do sth immediately if needed 2-(which is closer to your case)ready to travel or go somewhere if a ticket becomes suddenly available. |

| Thanks S., I don't only understand what is closer to my case? - I don't see any similarities with what I wrote. |

In my post:the first sentence starting with "fly" is closer in meaning to the 2nd part of the next line. |

Can I say:
We’ve kept Mr. Raman as a standby in case a player gets injured in the on-going match. |

| Standby IS a noun therefore you can use this sentence."Substitute" is another term with a similar meaning:substitute player,substitute teacher,etc. |

Hi S.S.,

'Fly standby means to fly without having reserved the tickets before' -is
closer to: 'ready to travel or go somewhere if a ticket becomes suddenly available'.? |
