Homesickness

Hoping someone can offer some advice, my 15 year olds daughter is going on a school trip abroad next week and has just said, in tears, that she doesn't want to go as she'll be homesick. It's only two nights but obviously I don't want her to be upset when she's there.
Does anyone have any good advice or coping strategy for homesickness?
She's stayed away from home before, friend's sleepovers, brownie/guide camp etc and I think has been fine so not sure where this has all come from 🤷

Could there be more to this? Someone going who isn’t being very pleasant to her right now? But she doesn’t want to say that? I may be totally wrong but if she’s usually happy staying out and was previously look forward to it there may be other issues. Of course it could just be last minute jitters too.
