Mild "vomit comet" maneuver.
Very mild, acceleration needed for the maneuver you describe is something like 2.3m/s/s*. vomit comet manages 9.8m/s/s.

Still, it probably is rather alarming and uncomfortable if you're not expecting it.


*Assuming my math is correct. Possibly a bad assumption after a couple of glasses of wine!
