She should call the airline and ask about dry ice.  They have their 
own limits (there is a maximum amount of dry ice, total, that can be 
on a plane).

How long will she be traveling on her way home?  If less than 12 
hours total then regular ice packs or frozen water bottles ought to 
work sufficiently well.  Crumpled newspaper stuffed into all spaces 
will help to keep everything cold.
