No, the 'y' in the word away is not a vowel, seeing not only as how the 'a' prior to it is a vowel, but the actual sound it makes when pronounced aloud. 'Y' is more commonly used as a vowel in words like:
~Crypt
~Fry
~Gym
~Eye
The letter is used as a consonant--at the beginning of a word most of the time--in words like:
~Yellow
~Year
~Yak
Hope this helps!
