You can purchase miles or get the FB Amex card and spend a lot of money to get the 20k you need.
Winning miles is not an option with FB - some would argue that even collecting miles on FB has become a bit of a lottery these days with the lower earning fare classes since 1 April.
In fact, flying may be your best option and if you search through this forum you will find some suggestions for relatively cheap mileage runs (LHR-PRG-KRK or the Air Europa Spanish runs). All would depend on your location though which is not in your profile.

Hi 20041,
Welcome to FT!
As of recently, Flying Blue allows you to purchase miles. This could be the answer for you, although typically, this is not good value for money (unless this gets you to the range of getting business class tickets).
Other options include transfer from Amex Rewards (not in all countries though, IIRC).
You can also get miles from renting cars or staying at certain hotel chains.
However, the Amex and the purchase options are probably what you will need, based on the amount of miles you are looking for.
And finally, no, Flying Blue doesn't allow for transfer of miles.
Cheers,
