Top stories of the week by Kyle Olsen, Points & Miles Reporter Hope you're enjoying your Sunday! It was another busy week in the travel industry. On the transatlantic travel front, United Airlines announced it would be adding Faro, Portugal, and three new transatlantic flights to its route network. JetBlue has also added two new transatlantic destinations. But things aren't all pretty. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has proposed new efforts to reduce flight capacity, which could boot JetBlue. JetBlue sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation asking for Dutch flag carrier KLM to be banned from New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport if JetBlue can no longer fly to Amsterdam. Also, with Global Entry's new mobile app, travelers can skip the kiosk at seven airports with a selfie. Hilton Honors loyalists will be happy to know that the megachain is committed to doubling down on its growth next year and will be launching yet another brand to go head-to-head with Marriott's Edition brand.
