this probability situation – If a couple of people decide to travel on separate airliners instead of traveling together, have they halved their chances of dying in a plane crash, or doubled them?

As is always the case with statistics, It depends on what you are specifically asking. The chance that any of them individually dies stays the same. The chance that both of them dies decreases as now two planes have to crash to satisfy this condition. The chance that either of them dies increases as you are increasing the amount opportunities for a plane crash to occur.
