Best to talk to her about it. Depends on a lot of things like how long you’ve been together, difference in how much money the two of you make, personal beliefs about money and gender roles, etc.
It’ll be awkward, but having those uncomfortable conversations now will make things easier down the road.
It shouldn’t be weird unless you’re forcing her against her will to go. Does she normally not pay for things?
I don’t think it’s weird (female here). Depending on how much/if the person booking is asking for the money asap/etc. my bf or I have def paid for the both of us and then separately between the two of us paid each other back

IMO no it’s not weird, even if you normally pay for things you do together. There’s a point where the cost is too much and I think it’s perfectly acceptable and normal to split. That point, is up to you to decide.
Personally, I only ask if I’m running far over on my monthly budget or if it was a last minute decision that I wasn’t able to adequately plan for. That being said I have asked a few times and she’s never pushed back and always been willing, despite her not having an income (in grad school).

How long has the relationship been? How connected are the both of you? If it’s long, and you both like and know each other well then skip the ask.
If you are still getting to know each other, then you can pay as a treat, or ask for payment of her share as usual.

I honestly think it depends on the female and how much we are talking about. Also, depends on how long you've been together.
Ask her how she wants to play that, you can pay the house and she the meals or the other way around, but ask if you feel that you don't want/ can't pay for both of you.

Pay.

How do you manage other trips or is this the first time you’re going away together?

Nothing wrong with asking her to chip in unless you told her previously you would take care of it
