If one's name contains an umlaut, can it be replaced with vowel without umlaut + e when booking a flight ticket? (e.g., JΓΌrgen -> Juergen)

It's generally fine.

That's actually my German middle name and I've used Jurgen or Juergen without any problems.

Your best option is probably to check how your name is written in the machine-readable zone (MRZ) (the 2 lines at the bottom of the bio page) and use that.

The spec allows both versions, but whether one or the other is used may depend on national policies.

The International Civil Aviation Organization guidelines for Machine Readable Travel Documents contains a table of recommended transliterations for Unicode characters outside the range of 0-9, A-Z, and <.
