You can install Noscript browser extension which disables this kind of nonsense for general web browsing.
It is quite restrictive, as many features of websites may not work. But you can disable Noscript for a trusted site. If a site uses so much "crapware" it can't even load you can temporarily switch to a clean browser.
It is not just BoardingArea. A visit to United Airlines shows 13 different cookies they use to track and monitor customers. Some of these are likely harmless, but is this really necessary? What exactly are these cookies doing??
