Google Flights displays a 7:20 a.m. Delta Air Lines ticket is the least expensive choice if you were looking to spend Thanksgiving away from home and travel from Seattle.
Additionally, the trip includes a stopover at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York (JFK).
Both a 10 a.m. and an 11:30 a.m. flight are available from Delta for those who want to return home.
The same stopover in JFK is also required for the return flights.
These discounts are only available for the basic economy, which might feel constricting, especially on prolonged overseas trips.
A seat change or seat preference is not available in Delta's basic economy.
One carry-on bag is free for each passenger, and round-trip check-in for checked bags is $150.
Since Delta and KLM are both members of the SkyTeam alliance, you can also book your tickets to Milan through KLM.

In conclusion
These discounts are a less expensive choice if you wish to travel to Italy without spending a lot of money.
Flights to Italy may be had for as little as $950 on average, and they have approximately a 50% discount.
Booking basic economy is still worthwhile given the amount you may save on airfare, even though it is constrictive and not the most comfortable option for lengthy overseas flights.
