Most Obscure FF Program You Were Elite In....

I'll start but can't meet my own criteria.

Hit 18,000 miles on Tarom (Romania), including 2000 miles on Romanian partners.

Anybody reach Czar level on Aeroflot?

Hey rednbeard911, I'm not sure if you've seen this:

http://www.tarom.net/
(it's a FlyerTalker-created site)

You'll get a big kick out of it, I'm sure.

Back on topic. I joined the Icelandair scheme once, as I had flights to and from BWI to Reyjkavik, around Iceland, and then over to Greenland. (What a place!)

Got a couple of free Scandic Hotel rooms out of it IIRC.

I have been a PM on Delta. Pretty obscure and useless program.

Vietnam Airlines Golden Lotus Plus -- Silver elite. (I'm not sure quite how elite it is, though it did appear to keep me from being bumped once...)

I flew two segments on Pride Air in 1985; does that count?

How about the one segment on Interflug in 1990?

I'm currently elite on Lithuanian Airlines. The _only_ elite benefit is lounge access at VNO when flying in Y.
