I do wonder what prompt you to buy Premium Economy U and not Business D (if both were available). Typically we won't buy CI/W or U unless it's for qualifying miles (or upgrades using CI miles to Business Class). You can still try to buy 30K miles from someone on CI and upgrade to Business (if it's available) to get access to a lounge, but then those miles have to be credited to CI (if upgraded).
If I were to guess, it seems like you are on Business in regional because you bought PE/U on long haul?
Thank you very much for this info; I expected as much. And yes, we are in Business on the regional segment because of the fare class purchased for the long haul. I couldn’t figure out how to get seats in premium economy for the full journey, and the regular business class fare was an additional $4200/person over this blended option. Flight times are perfect though and net me an extra day at our destination over the comparable options, so this felt like a good compromise.
We are crediting miles to Delta and could currently status match to Gold/SkyTeam Elite Plus; although the priority pass lounges in TPE look like they are probably more than good alternatives for the return flight where we’ll be most wanting the lounge access.
