Morphology
The meaning 'an official document allowing a passenger to board' is directly and compositionally derived from 'boarding' (embarking onto transport) + 'pass' (a permit). This straightforward noun-noun combination is cross-linguistically common and uses frequent, literal constituent senses, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun boarding pass comes from travel practice when people needed a small paper to show they could get on a ship or plane. Here, boarding means getting on and pass is a ticket that lets you go through the gate, so the paper showed you were allowed 'to board'.
