Why would not be ? $1500 x 3 = $4500

Typical C or D to Asia is over $5000.

Even if it is not the case, the 2nd seats could be gotten with miles from the father as well, OP didn't specified the details from the "neighbor". Therefore, it is basically $3000. And $3000 for sure is far away from a paid business seat to asia.
