The permissibility of using a "baggage voucher" or "excess weight allowance" for the purpose of 'Umrah depends on the system of the issuing entity:
If the entity grants these vouchers as a form of ownership, then they may be used for any purpose the owner deems fit. However, if the entity designates them for a specific purpose (such as transporting baggage), then they may not be used for anything else, such as 'Umrah.
