That's tough. When my DD was 16 (two years ago), she flew, out-of-state, to a prospective college visit. the college booked 5 other HS students from around here on the same flight. She knew some of them; others she didn't.
On the way home, they were stranded in Atlanta overnight, due to weather. NW Airlines did nothing to help 6 minors, travelling without an adult -- no money, no food, no help with hotels (other than a list), etc.
One of the parents, from home, booked 2 hotel rooms, and the hotel shuttled them back and forth.
She didn't admit that she was nervous or worried, but she phoned 7 times in 4 hours, to "update" us. In retrospect, she considers it an adventure, but, she did say, "Mom, I wouldn't have wanted to spend the night in the airport."
Here's hoping that things go more smoothly for your daughter.
