At FL270; started to become aware of a strong noxious odor in the flight deck. Symptoms included headache and stinging eyes. Flight attendants reported the same in the cabin. Landed in ZZZ without incident. Grounded the aircraft and crew was met by paramedics. Cleared by paramedics with all showing good vitals. Released as per Dispatch.
During the cruise portion of the Flight; the airplane had a foul; noxious odor. I had noticed my eyes were beginning to burn and I was starting to get a sinus type headache. The captain called me and asked if the plane had a foul smell and I said it did. He asked if the FA's were having any symptoms. I talked with the C and the B and relayed to the captain that all three of us had burning eyes; dull headaches; sinus pain; and ear pain. The captain and first officer were experiencing similar symptoms. As the flight progressed; the symptoms began to worsen and we also began feeling nauseous and dizzy. Before landing; the B fa began having blurred vision. The passengers were also complaining of a foul odor on the plane. One passenger was feeling ill but he declined needing any medical assistance. The flight was moderately turbulent and he was feeling nauseous. It should also be noted; we were only able to serve for approximately 15 minutes before the captain had us discontinue our service and sit down due to turbulence. After landing and deplaning; the paramedics were called to assess the flight crew. Our next flight on that plane was canceled and the crew went to the hotel for the night.
