Although I haven't used it myself, there is something called a gate pass that your father may be able to receive from the ticketing agent to provide an escort to your daughter. If that doesn't work, Burbank is certainly an easy access site for security and if you have gate A1 or A2 it's literally only a minute to get there from the TSA checkpoint...if it is doable anywhere, that might be the spot. By "safe" I think you mean airside - so your parents can bring your daughter to BUR, wait for your plane to land and pull up, send your daughter through security at that moment as you'll be walking up, then both of you together back to another gate for departure...it could work at BUR as long as you weren't delayed inbound. Don't try this at MDW or LAS....well at MDW you wouldn't be able to see people on the other end of security for one thing. Southwest may hold a connecting plane at times, but this isn't standard policy necessarily and I think depending on how easy it would be for you to catch a replacement flight, how delayed you are running, if the pilot can make up the time in the air (can't delay all of those people from their future connetions), etc. may all factor into things. I wouldn't count on it and they don't promise it, but I have seen it provided when people would be missing the last flight out by a few minutes. The other wrinkle is that your daughter won't be delayed having started at BUR, so her ticket would be departing as normal...?
