What should i do?

My friend & her guy have been talking for 1½ years. He came to visit in july for work, but after that the dynamic changed and he started acting more distant leaving her to react more insecure/clingy. They had alot of arguments but worked through most of them..they cant be together tho bc of cultural reasons but they both care about each other alot. Anyways in october they had an argument & he hasnt spoken to her since. She still misses him & worries about him so shes thinking to buy a plane ticket to his city ($500) from friday-sunday. To see him, talk it out, & if hes done at least thats closure, she can move on knowing hes okay...

I told her that might be selfish on her end bc he wont respond to her texts so that means he wants space...but shes saying maybe he deleted his social media or silenced his phone bc she asked his friends to nessage/call him to see if hes okay but he wont respond to then either, so thats why hes not seeing her messages maybe. I dont think she should do this, i think maybe she has good intentions but i just have a bad feeling overall. I want her to be happy, shes been the worst ive ever seen her, and i do hope seeing him in person will help them rekindle & fix things...but i just dont really think that will be the outcome. I get she wants to show him she cares & they can both stop hurting if they jus talk but I jus think doing this can also push him farther bc maybe hes already moved on and seeing her would ruin all his progress which could lead to resentment on his end & her getting more hurt. I dont know how to help her & im scared if it doesnt work out like she thinks it will, what she'll do (not like she'll intentionally do anything but jus what that pain will drive her to do). I love her sm & if she wants to show him she cares she should but idk why my gut is telling me this isnt a good idea...

This is definitely not a good idea. She doesn't seem to want to see the red flags. He's already showing her and giving her the signals that he's not interested in a relationship with her. She needs to let that go and to go see him would be a big mistake. Big mistake. She needs to move on and find someone else.

@LadyGrace thats what i told her. Its so crazy what love does to people bc shes actually pretty logical & frugal so to see her like this is so sad. Honestly tho, a part of me wonders if she should jus go see him, to get the final closure & slam of the door to move on. Shes a little delulu hoping they can work things out & be okay but i think her realistic side is making her act desperate enough to do something like this 😔
@Bananana Yep. Sometimes we have to let people go ahead and get hurt in order to get the message. She's going to get hurt but it doesn't sound like she's going to listen to anybody. Hopefully, she'll find out she shouldn't chase people like him who came right out blatantly and told her with his actions he wants nothing to do with her. I hate to see that happen to her but sometimes that's the only way someone will listen. She sounds insecure and she needs help in that area. Holly Gerth has a good book for that, that I read one time. It's her own story about what your friend is going through and how she handled it and got through it and it's wonderful and it's fun to read but very important. I highly recommend for any woman with life and relationship struggles to read the book. It would be great if you could get it for her in paperback as a gift. It would get her shoulders on straight, if you know what I mean. Highly recommend it...
