That's the rule for most FFPs, and certainly for Aeroplan.
For future reference, [MENTION=599574]canadiancow[/MENTION] has built an online calculator (with a database of Aeroplan distances put together by a large number of FTers) that can help you determine the earning from flights before you purchase or fly them:
Calculator for SQM, Aeroplan miles, & SQD
(And if you tell us what you did get credited for that IAD-VIE flight, it might also help us continue to build out that tool).
