There are non-stops on Tuesday, well inside the 48 hour window, so that part seems to not be a problem.

I don't have the time or access to check all the systems simultaneously. But close in inventory changes and many systems cache the inventory, so stale inventory could be at problem (for UA or others).

Trying to understand the issue, so all awards are not "blocked" but you think there may an issue with non-stops for next day ??? 24 hours?? Trying to establish the time frame as I am 9 hours earlier (PDT) than those middle European locations (CET), so Monday flights are under 15 hours at the moment and some of the Tuesday showing non-stops at just above 24 hours out.

How long have you seen this problem? Is it new or long existing?
As UA does inventory / schedule updates on Friday evening/ Saturday morning (Chicago time - CDT) and there may be glitches in this process.
