Narrative:

Prior to departure; we smelled a 'dirty sock' smell in the flight deck and forward galley. Upon further investigation; I found that the smell was also in the jetway all the way up to the terminal doorway. I believed this smell to be coming from the jetway. The first officer and I smelled only a residual amount en route. After arrival; the no. 1 flight attendant informed me that the smell returned about 30 minutes before gate arrival. He said that he had a headache and was nauseous. The no. 3 flight attendant said it irritated his eyes. The no. 1 flight attendant also said that passengers complained of the odor. The flight attendants were checked by paramedics and I filed an aircraft smoke; odor; and fumes report.
