Here's what I wish someone had told me before spending an evening on Ruili Airlines' website: they don't carry pets at all — not in the cabin, not in the hold. It's a short answer, but a useful one, because it means the real work is finding a different carrier for this leg. Cooper has taught me that ruling an airline out early saves days of wasted research later.

Ruili Airlines's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Frequently asked

What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.
What happens if I forget a document?
At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.
Since Ruili Airlines isn't an option for animals, the smart next move is mapping the route around carriers that are. Instead of checking policy pages one by one, put your origin, destination, and dates into Pawgo and let it build a personalized plan. It flags which airlines actually take pets on your route and lines up the paperwork, so you start from a working shortlist rather than a dead end.
