Answer 1

You can use Linq-to-XML and Linq itself

 XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(@"file.xml");
 XNamespace ns="http://rss.flightstats.com/ns/rss/1.0";

 var flight = doc.Descendants(ns + "FlightHistory");
 foreach (var ele in flight)
 {
  Console.WriteLine(ele.Attribute("FlightHistoryId").Value);
  }

OR

  var flight = doc.Descendants(ns + "FlightHistory")
                  .Select(ele => new 
                   {
                       FlightHistoryId=ele.Attribute("FlightHistoryId").Value,
                       DepartureDate=ele.Attribute("DepartureDate").Value,
                       ArrivalDate=ele.Attribute("ArrivalDate").Value 
                   }).FirstOrDefault();
    if (flight != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(flight.FlightHistoryId + " " + flight.DepartureDate + " " + flight.ArrivalDate);
    }
