I don't often see legacy airlines advertising one way fares.
PR has J one way fares available from MEL/SYD/BNE for as low as A$1559 in J class.
Return J fares to HKG are cheaper per sector, coming in from A$2629 return.
Many other fares - J, W and Y - are available to destinations in mainland China, TPE, BKK, GUM, LAX and numerous Japanese destinations from A$429 (return MEL - PEK in Y) upwards. Some return J fares to other destinations are cheaper than the one to HKG.
Typically the aircraft used is a refurbished (younger than QF) A333 with flat beds 1-2-1 configuration MEL - MNL, although lately PR's new A359s have appeared.
SYD can be either an A333 or smaller, single aisle new A321neo, but again, the A359 has made at least one appearance.
BNE is always a new A321neo,. Like the other aircraft it has flat beds, but in its case given it's a narrowbody, it's a less attractive 2-2 configuration.
Aircraft used across to HKG will vary but some have flat beds, although from and to MNL it is a very short sector.
The aircraft lounge used in MEL is SQ. In MNL it is the poor PR one (food and one shower only, plus unrefurbished toilets leaves much to be desired).
Punctuality is pretty good and the airline is safe (at least in the last decade, and beyond). Food onboard seems fine but I wouldn't claim to have specialist knowledge.
There are some blackout dates. These deals ex and to MEL are only available on PR207/PR208, not the traditional day up and overnight back PR209/PR210. Weekend surcharge ex SYD of A$50 applies (strange).
Other attractive fares to Japan and London Heathrow are available.
Book until 15 December 2018 via the PR website.
