MEL-MNL is scheduled to be on an A340 and the MNL-LHR leg on a 777. Both have angled lie-flat beds, similar to TG and MH. Both are day-time flights so full-flat not important.

Here are some reviews: Philippine Airlines 777 Business Class - Manila Forum - TripAdvisor

MNL is certainly not the best airport in the world for an overnight layover but at almost half the price of the next cheapest option (RB who transit an equally unpleasant airport/city in BWL) its a no brainer for me. This is by far the cheapest fare - if by 'best fare' you mean best product pay a bit more than RB and go QR who are outstanding.

TK is available for about $3432 With the MEL-BKK sector on TG if you want to avoid MNL and BWN
