The A321 has a problem. 80% of all my flights land and fumes enter the cabin on taxi in or at the gate with passengers and crew on board.[Day 1; Flight A; Aircraft X]As we taxied to the gate; the cabin filled with fumes. After the Captain opened the flight deck door; I reported the fumes. [Day 2; Flight B; Aircraft Y]Fumes flooded the cabin right before the agent opened the aircraft door. I had to place a wet towel over my nose and mouth. When Captain opened the aircraft door; I reported the problem. He said; 'ok' and left.[Day 3; Flight C; Aircraft Y]We were delayed on the tarmac due to bad weather. The first time the flight stopped and then started again; fumes flooded the business class cabin. I was standing in the aisle speaking to a passenger. I called the cockpit and told him I was going to report this. He said; 'ok.'[Day 4; Flight D; Aircraft X]I didn't smell the fumes until after we disarmed our doors at the gate.This has been a problem for a long time and many of us have been reporting it. It has to do with the new bleed air engine procedure.
