There isn't a very elegant way to do it.
You'll need to put a Blade if statement in there somewhere.
<option value="male" @if(old('gender') == 'male')selected@endif>male</option>
Unless you use LaravelCollective's HTML package.

You can simply use ternary operator as below for comparing both old value and database value. Here $name corresponds to the datatbase value which you have to send to blade page.
<select class="form-control" name="gender">
<option value="male" {{ old('name',$name)=='male' ? 'selected' : '' }}>male</option>
<option value="female" {{ old('name',$name)=='female' ? 'selected' : '' }}>female</option>
</select>

<select class="form-control @error('boardingPoint') is-invalid @enderror"
id="boardingPoint"
name="boardingPoint" >
<option class="disabled" selected disabled>
Select Boarding Point
</option>
</select>

foreach ($points as $point)
