Which US airport to transfer to Paris?
Hi, can someone recommond which of the following airport has the easiest transfer to flights to Paris? (Yes, I know there is direct flight from Seattle to Paris)
TO: (This is the second connection flight from Seattle to Paris)
-Cincinnati, OH (CVG): 54m (Time between flights)
-Salt Lake City, UT (SLC): 41m
-Atlanta, GA (ATL): 1h
-New York, NY (JFK): 2h 10m
Return: New York, NY (JFK): 1h 45m
Will 1h 45m in JFK be enough time to go through the custom and recheck in our luggages?
Thanks!

It kind of depends on if you have to change terminals at the airport on the way there. When I have to change terminals, I always prefer at least 2 hours between flights. Even without changing terminals, I wouldn't want less than an hour in case my first flight was late. On the way back with going through customs, 1:45 minutes might be okay, but to be safe, I always have at least a full two hours. I wouldn't want to try for 1:45 in JFK.
There is also direct nonstop flight between Seattle and Paris on Air France.
