It’s TWIN flight entertainm­ent

AIR GIRLS DOUBLE UP

- ■ by CHARLOTTE NISBET sunday@dailystar.co.uk

IDENTICAL twins Laura and Anna Perry leave airline passengers seeing double.

The girls both work matching shifts as air hostesses.

And they reckon passengers travelling with Virgin Atlantic are always left baffled.

The twins, 23, live matching lives and enjoy the same food, clothes, car, and even opt to work the same hours.

Laura said: “We rarely do anything without each other and we are definitely identical in every single way.

“When we both decided to apply to work for Virgin Atlantic we both said we wouldn’t accept the job unless the other twin got the role too.

“Being air hostesses together is a dream come true and people are always asking us if they are seeing double – which is very funny.

“They will say things like, ‘I swear I just saw you down the end of the plane, how did you get here so quick?’

“It’s amazing being able to share everything together as we’re best friends and enjoy exactly the same things.

“We choose to dress the same most of the day as we love being identical twins and being approached by strangers who are baffled by our similariti­es.

“We even love the same food and interests so you will often find us snacking on the same things and going shopping together.”

Anna and Laura still live in their family home in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, together, despite flying from Heathrow Airport each week. They’re so insistent on being together, they will swap shifts with other crew members to ensure they’re on the same flights.

Anna said: “We love flying together as we are able to travel the world with each other and share the most amazing experience­s. We love visiting San Francisco and seeing all the sights when we have our days off.

“Me and Laura are basically the exact same person and when wearing our uniforms it’s crazy how many people approach us about being twins.

“We love all of the attention that being identical twins brings and we both feel so lucky to have our dream job together too.

“Growing up we’ve always been very similar and although we can tell physical difference­s between us, most people can’t.”

Laura and Anna have recently started documentin­g their identical lives and adventures on social media.

Anna said: “We noticed other twins on Instagram setting up pages about their identical lives so we decided to do the same.

“It was only recently set up but the main purpose of it is so we can look back on our travels together.

“We’ve been to some amazing locations in the past two years with Virgin. A lot of them tend to be US-based.

“We’re both having the time of our lives and it’s even more special being able to share it all with Laura.

“If anyone doesn’t understand why we enjoy dressing and leading the same lives we just say, ‘It’s a twin thing.’”
