No, it does not work that way. Common sense would tell you that your assumption is way off - using your logic, if a person flies a round trip between Toronto and Buenos Aires, on a full miles earning fare code (AC has fare codes that dont earn, or earn very little miles), the person would have gained 5573 x 2 = `11,146 miles in his Aeroplan account. Then your logic would mean the person now can have a free r/t award ticket to "cover" that distance - Do you think this is possible, i.e. fly once and then fly free?

The simplest way for you to find out what good are your Aeroplan miles (assuming your program is AC's), is to go to their website to see the award chart - i.e. how many miles to qualify what kind of awards.
