I think these type of families think that buying a ticket means they are getting a seat. Not knowing the restrictions on E class, they reasonably assume that they will be allowed to sit next to their children by the GA or FA. Plus, I have been buying really good fares for myself my mom and two young siblings, and most of the time on AF we can't choose our seats. But $350 from Milan to Singapore to LA is a good deal to me, so I put up with it.
