If I had intact tickets I would consider taking a risk under the following conditions:
1. Ability to position to MAD for cheap or with cheap miles.
2. All reservations at destination refundable up to the date before the stay and booked with a credit card that has insurance.
3. Have back up return ticket from S.America in J with miles (which can be cancelled and redeposited for free up right before travel, like AA miles, for example), in case there is a problem or attempted downgrade on the return.
That way you have minimum exposure, and worst case you spend a few days in MAD or Spain instead.
