Booked on one airline--operated by another -- which gate?

I booked a flight from Washington (DCA) to New York (LGA) on United Airlines
Flight#2986 which is operated by US Airways. At LGA, there is a separate
terminal for US Airways versus United, which is at the main terminal. Where
will my flight land? Shall I tell my sister to pick me up at the US Airways
terminal or the United terminal.

Thank you in advance.

Off hand, I would say to use the terminal of the airline operating the flight
(in this case, US Airways), since US Airways will have its own flight number
for the flight (in this case #2186) for which its own pax. will have booked
under its own number/name.

But of course, always check with the airlines to be sure.

The general rule is that the you go to the terminal and gate of the
airline operating the flight.

In this particular case, the plane you're on is the 8 PM air-shuttle.
At DCA, you check in and leave at the air-shutle gates all the way at
the north end of the DCA terminal (to your left as you come in from
the subway). At LGA, you'll be coming in at the US Airways terminal,
and the air-shuttle gates let you out at the east end of the terminal,
near the taxi stand. If she wants to come in and find you, there'll
probably be spaces in lot #4 in front of the terminal, but at that
hour I'd suggest she just wait for you at the curb. Note that private
cars can't use the roadway closest to the terminal, so you'll have to
find her on the second road.

Call the airline to ask.
