Is flying the childless skies a bargain?

A New York Times parenting column about the challenges of flying with children ("The Less-Than-Friendly Skies") mentions a survey by airfarewatchdog.com, which poses questions including whether you would pay more for a flight with no one under 13 and, if so, how much. You can vote here.

I'd be curious how you'd vote. Would paying more be a bargain if you didn't have kids on board?

Me? Count myself lucky, but I haven't had much of a problem with kids or babies. Of course I just jinxed myself.

I've had a few problems, however, with obnoxious adults. To the dude sitting next to me who had to crank up his portable DVD player so he can hear his movie, yes, you know who you are, ever heard of head phones?

Don't really care about the flying question but
forget the smoking no-smoking section in restaurants - seat me in the no-children section each and every time -
