Hi guys,

Guess this is probably a first world problem, but I will be flying during the holidays with SQ, and having a look at the seatmap, the J cabin is not even 30% full.

Yet, having a look at the seat assignment, I've found that somebody's been assigned the seat next to me (A330 J Class), despite the fact that there are A LOT of seats free, and by that, I mean, there's a whopping grand total of 5 passengers in this cabin (so far anyways).

What I don't understand is why somebody would intentionally choose to sit next to a stranger, given the amount of seats free...?

I'm not sure whether I should pick another seat now, or just wait it out, or ask at check-in? I don't mind having to sit next to somebody on a full flight, or in Y, but on an empty cabin just feels...weird.
