After level-off Captain did all-call and ask if we smelled any odd odors; especially around row 19 and wing area. All flight attendants did cabin check and reported no odor. Captain said there was a dirty sock smell in cockpit and to continue monitoring cabin for odors. On a further check; flight attendant in the mid cabin noticed the odor for a split second. Flight Attendant 3 said she smelled it briefly and had a metallic taste. Reported both to Captain; he advised there were fume event write-ups in log book. Notified deadheading crew members. After landing; I had the dirty sock smell at my forward jumpseat. Breathed it in making arrival announcement; the back of my throat [felt] raw with an acid taste. Eyes burned voice went in and out and was coughing. Notified Captain after passengers deplaned; and he said it had come back on landing in cockpit also.
The Captain phoned the aft galley after level off to check around row 19 for a dirty sock smell. We did smell it faintly. I did not smell it when at my jumpseat. We continued to monitor but did not smell any more the rest of the flight.
