I've done both biz-class products on the 320s.

Flatbeds are acceptable for an overnight flight, and you can sleep on them.
The non-reclining recliners are average and OK for an hour or two.

The real experience is MNL airport

PAL has a status match out right now: https://philippineairlines.statusmatch.com/

Just tried for the Status Match and it doesn't list Qantas as someone you already hold elite status with couldn't proceed.

Looking at the list it seems current frequent flyers of OW airlines are not eligible which is understandable.

at $US349 for the Premier Elite is a bit steep, you'd want to be flying a fair bit with PAL.

Virgin status matches, but at ~$AU500 I'll pass for my pittance upcoming 2 flights.

The thought behind that would be it’s valid until March 2028 I believe and if PR is fully rolled into OW you would have OW status

 

[MooTime]

Yes ok, but PAL not due to join OW till late 2027 from recent articles so $AU500 for ~6 months of OW.
Still not great value imo, maybe for others.
