Getting to CMI by plane:

Outside the Václav Havel airport arrival hall, take the bus no. 119 in the direction "Nádraží Veleslavín", or other buses going to the city centre, see detailed instructions. There are signs at the airport with departure times or you can find a connection here. You can buy tickets in the yellow machines (coins only; some machines at the airport and in the city centre also accept cards) or in the airport hall or at the bus driver (coins or small banknotes are preferred). The ticket price is 32 CZK (machine) or 40 CZK (at the driver) and the ticket is valid for 90 minutes. Buses may be crowded, approximate travel time is ~20 minutes. From Nádraží Veleslavín, you can use metro line A to the "Muzeum" station (direction "Depo Hostivař") and then switch to line C (direction "Háje") to get to "Chodov" station, which takes you another 40 minutes. The total time from the airport to CMI by public transport is thus approx. 1 hour.
