So long as your documents establish you may legally enter the country, UA document check is not going to flag that you plan to stay longer than the 90-day tourist period. For all they know you could have additional flights during that 90+ days that takes you to, e.g, the UK or another non-Schengen country. If anyone is going to be skeptical it's the border patrol on arrival, who might ask . . . but they'll be better positioned to acknowledge your documents allow you to stay longer. Assuming they check at all - for the same reasons.

The biggest issue I see you potentially having is leaving after 90 days, and the exit check may ask you why you overstayed the 90-day period. I trust you will have a good answer for that.
