OP here.

Both my kids are US citizens. My husband and I are waiting on our green card application and cannot leave the US until it's approved or denied. My kids are free to travel abroad.

Interesting about the jet lag: you think she's less likely to suffer from it with a shorter trip? It's true the event is on a weekend, so she could, in theory, miss less school. I was just thinking it would be even more tiring, but maybe not?

You are really overthinking this. Kids are resilient and a little jet lag won’t matter. What matters is if your daughter wants to fly alone and if she wants to go.

I had my kids miss 2 days in the fall to travel to a destination wedding. The entire family was there and they wanted to go.  They coordinated with teachers and made up assignments. It was fine.

My daughter already informed me homecoming is on Sept 27 this year.  I know she would not be okay missing that. My other kid wouldn’t care.  Are there school events your daughter cares about? Is she involved in any fall sports or band? Like it or not, these events might be more important than a once in a lifetime family event with relatives she doesn’t really know. [/quote]
