You don't say how many miles you will be short. This is one where a brief well explained letter up the corporate chain may work out for you.
Yes, they kept the return open and we returned as scheduled on 1/1. I was ~1500 MQM short (made it on MQD) and the JFK-BOG flight that was canceled would have easily put me over.
