I can only speak for myself, but even if as a solo traveller I was faced with a free pair of seats vs. a pair with one free seat I would go for the unoccupied free pair. And come to think of it, I've yet to witness anyone doing the opposite.
Call it arrogance or self importance
, I think it's perfectly normal to want some personal space. (To the extent of prioritising it over a perfect strangers' convenience, shocking I know
)
Having said that, were a couple to ask me nicely to relocate to a nearby vacant seat in order for them to be able to sit together I would happily do so.
