Flying when ill with bronchitis

Wife is OK at the moment. Unwell but not really bad.
Today GP has diagnosed bronchitis - we're flying Saturday.

Don't want to but, if she was unwell would we be able to cancel and claim? Or would travel insurance only allow this for 'serious' illness? (we do have travel insurance)

I guess you'd need a docs opinion that you were unfit to fly? Does feeling unwell count or is it just tough luck?

Obviously, want to know before cancelling....

BTW in the UK if it makes any difference. Flight is short - 2.5 hours with Ryanair a budget airline.
