My kids regularly made drives much longer than this during college by themselves. We're talking about a 25 yr old adult.
Op cares about her daughter.
DP, and this isn’t really fair. My kids, when in college, regularly drove 7-8 hours one way coming home on breaks. I didn’t love them any less.
We'd have a parent fly out and drive with them.
That’s the worst idea possible. If I was the BF I would figure out a reason that the specific weekend no longer works.

If I thought that the boyfriend were a good long-term prospect for my DD, then I would fund the airfare.

Be a parent and let your kid grow up and buy their own tickets if they want to save and spend on a ticket. If they don’t have the $ or don’t want to spend it on a ticket, don’t do it for them. They are adult and your NOT helping is what will help them define their own life choices.
