These are some questions to ask - size of team, does entire team travel, how are slots filled for meets. So much depends on how far they are traveling and how, by auto, bus, air.

My daughter’s team is small so they all travel to away games, even those who are injured. But they travel by bus so there is no added cost except for food. Men’s team also takes everyone, but again the bus holds 55, they have 40 or so players plus the coaches and trainers so they all fit on one bus. I know of a high ranked D1 team where everyone didn’t travel to away games because they flew, but they did all get to go to the national championship because the NCAA pays for travel, lodging and meals for the playoffs and championships, so why not take everyone?
