Regarding a flight
I alway have problems with prepositions... please check my bold words and I would like to know if which one is correct, both or none of them Thank you!
Q1. Do you have a flight with a similar schedule?
Yes, we have a flight at 12:20 p.m. but unfortunately(I wonder if I can use these words together) this time, the flight has been canceled on/for Nov 25th
Q2. Then could you please tell me all the flights I can take which depart before noon?
Certainly, There are two flights departing before noon.
The first one will depart at 9:10a.m. and there are 5 seats available (for)now. This flight number is KC 8005.
The second one/ The other one will depart at 10:05a.m. and there are 2 seats available (for)now.
Since there are few seats available, you should hurry to buy/book your flight ticket/a flight ticket before they (are) sold out.

"But unfortunately" is a very common collocation. mr1bin the flight has been canceled on/for Nov 25th People use both, but I prefer "for" in your sentence. "On" could be ambiguous as to whether you're telling which flight, or when it was canceled.
