Well, that hour or two can be a very long time if you have certain fuel reserves. And it's hard to fly a plane out if the the incoming plane isn't there.

I have to return to Paris because I'm flying out of CDG to return to the US. Outbound is SFO-CDG-NCE.

Transavia has a direct FNC-ORY flight every morning. There are other direct flights but they appear to depart in the afternoon so you get into Paris in the evening and it's only some days for RyanAir and EasyJet.

Other option is TAP which connects through LIS.

Has anyone flown Transavia? It lists a 737, economy-only flight.

On the outbound the early-morning departures for MRS-LIS-FNC or NCE-LIS-FNC are more than double the price of departing in the evening. TAP has departures at 6:05 and 18:35.
SATA/Azores Airlines flys NS fnc-bos on Wednesdays on a a330 if it helps.
