Have I missed anything to complete my battle plan?
Putting aside the question of whether Ryanair's practices are predatory or not... you seem well prepared. Print a spare copy of your boarding passes if you think you might misplace them. Get to the gate early to ensure that you get overhead storage space and a good seat - consider paying the extra fee for priority boarding. Bring an empty bottle to fill in the terminal after passing security if you dislike paying for refreshments.
