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!
