My parents are strongly encouraging me to fly her because they think she'll be fine for the 8-10 hours that'll be stressful rather than driving the whole way by myself.

Definitely a lot to think about...
Even if the airline safety record for pets was good, I would still recommend
driving. She will be lot more comfortable.

I think you made a good choice to drive.
