It turned out the only option was to fly the next day which I couldn't do. So asked the agent to remove the LGA-DCA and DCA-PHL leg out of the reservation and instead took the Amtrak to Philadelphia and eventually was able to catch that flight.
The question here is: Do I have the right for compensation?
It's been awhile but the extra expenses got reimbursed for the Uber ride LGA to Penn station, the amtrak ticket Penn NY to Philadelphia and the Uber ride from the Philadelphia 30th St Amtrak station to PHL.
