I'm confused, I thought you wanted to be reunited with the bag in Paris? Now you're asking how to get "back" to NYC?

Personally, I think it was a mistake to have the doorman refuse delivery. The more hands your bag passes through, the greater the confusion. Communication, as you learned the hard way, is hard to come by when tracking down a mishandled bag. While it's not ideal being separated from the things you wanted to take on the trip, at least you would've had closure knowing your bag is safely home.

Don't let this ruin your trip more than it already has. Just purchase whatever replacements are necessary and get AF/travel insurance to reimburse. You're probably better off getting them to reattempt delivery (if that's an option), or just let it stay at the airport and pick it up when you return.
