You can use present tense to express a future action when that specific activity has been scheduled in advance.
Example: We go to the cinema: I accidentally heard my parent talking about it.
Other uses of present tense for future actions might be a bit awkward, except for the scheduled activities mentioned above.

The scheduled activity rule is right, but the example isn't. " My flight leaves at midnight" is a scheduled activity.
I agree with Mark.
Kimberly and Mark, thank you for your clarification.
