So I posted the question about the Business Lounge in D Terminal in Aeroflot's Open Line on their website on Apr. 5th, following it up with an email to Open Line, and still got no responce. They are either not monitoring their Open Line or simply don't know/don't care enough to bother to respond. Sad.

Got a letter from the [Russian] Manager of SU HKG office a while back (early-March) and all they offered was the difference in transport costs from the hotel due to the delay (requires receipts!!!). I wrote back through the saveliev-info email and told them that I no longer have the receipts with no reply yet. After follow-up with Openline, they said to be patient while waiting for a reply.

"Good afternoon, we thank you for your message. As far as we know, finishing works in lounges are leading now. Unfortunately, we do not have any information about its date of term. "
So, basically no one knows anything and doesn't want to bother to investigate.

After 8 days of waiting for their response, this is what I got back, and I kept the original writing style intact
"Good afternoon, we thank you for your message. As far as we know, finishing works in lounges are leading now. Unfortunately, we do not have any information about its date of term. "
So, basically no one knows anything and doesn't want to bother to investigate.

I'll be there Sunday night and will update when I get to OVB on Monday. One can only hope I guess...

SU has a great marketing opportunity here - beat the ash!
While most of Transatlantic flights have been cancelled by most airlines, flights from SVO to JFK, IAD and LAX are still departing from SVO (albeit with a delay on average of 3 hours). I think SU has a great marketing opportunity here to announce that they will accept the stranded DL passengers out of SVO (as well as other airlines' passengers who can get to SVO) to fly them to North America. Since SU flights can take a more northern flight plan, they circumvent the ashes and still fly to the States.
Based on what I read in DL forum there are many DL passengers that know nothing about the opportunity to endorse their DL (or other airlines) tickets to SU, and SU accepting them for their flights. Here is the true opportunity for SU to be a hero, and need to sieze it.

Aeroflot transports passengers suffering from airlines cancelling flights to Moscow
April 17, 2010, Moscow. OJSC Aeroflot Russian Airlines helps to transport passengers from other airlines to have cancelled flights to Moscow amid closed airspace with European countries.
On April 16, SU 551 Moscow Bangkok transported 64 passengers of Korean Air and 36 passengers from Singapore Airlines.
On April 17, SU 273 Moscow Nice took onboard 44 Air France passengers. Today AeroFlot plans to carry passengers of Alitalia by SU 277 Moscow - Rome. To transport passengers from Europe AeroFlot expands its capacity at this destination starting from today.
Starting from April 17, Aeroflots flights to active European airports are services with top capacity aircraft, and in case of necessity supplementary flights will be arranged.

Interestingly enough SU now flies their SVO-LAX flights transpacific. Shame there are no speed trains running between Western Europe and Russia - could have been a solution for those heading to the US and Canada.
