I'm trying to figure out how to find what resort destinations are within 4 hours of Chicago, using direct flights. Is there some travel site that could help me figure this out? For example, Cancun is perfect. Other places?

I would look at airlines that fly out of Chicago, and determine from there. Are you looking out of the US? If not, Florida is always a cheaper option. Mexico and the Caribbean is not far either.

Take a look at: http://flychicago.com/fidsohare/
or

and search by giving the airline and select departure. Leave the city blank and see what you come up with. This will give you an idea of what cities a particular airline has a direct flight to.

Puerto Rico -- San Juan is a direct flight from Chicago albeit it might be slightly more than 4 hours in duration, but not much more or less than that.

Cabo is 4 hours from Chicago. Cancun is too damaged now.

Try this map and see - 1750 mi. from ORD - roughly 4 hours depending on head/tail winds. http://tinyurl.com/896ux

Jamaica and Cayman Islands are just south of Cuba.

Thank you so much for all the great suggestions! I'm going to try some of those web links today. We've been to Puerto Rico. I know Cancun is damaged, but I've heard south of there in the Rivera Maya section it's not as bad (currently investigating this). Cabo is a possibility, Caymen is sooo expensive. We love Jamaica, and were just there last year. Again, thanks for your suggestions!
