I like going to HKG and taking the limo (I know the issues, but it's door to door and easy, just a long ride) or the train. If you stay at the HKG Sheraton, you can get a ride to the train station and the Marriott will pick you up in CAN.

If you get to the CAN airport, you can take the Guangzhou subway/metro & get off right outside China Hotel.
Take Airport South station (Line 3) to connect to Line 2 & get off Line 2 at Yuexiu Park station - follow signs to Exit #D1 - brings you out on the sidewalk just outside China Hotel side entrance.
Also taxi or bus from CAN airport to China Hotel - subway/metro is piece of cake.
Not sure about flights with Delta miles? - Dragon Air from HKG to CAN is quick/reasonable price, but they are OneWorld (American Airlines) I think

If you use trip manager, check out the Oct 2013 fares. NRT-CAN on JL is $1800 while MU is $1200 and CZ is $800. Same airplane for all 3 tickets (JL metal, which is good if you're still wondering about Chinese de-ice procedures based on last winter). If you don't use trip manager, I would recommend it.
The instructions about the train/subway to the China hotel are spot on. It's very easy, cheap and probably the best option other than a Parklane limo ride from the normal provider.

Deadhead to Narita and then company jumpseat to CAN. Be nice to the operating crew and ask to share their ground transportation. The ramp will ensure there is a van if there will be 3 of you and you give them advance notice.

Do you mean the inter-city train like from HKG to CAN?
If so, be advised, I did that a while back & had a tough time explaining my "Crew Visa" to the train immigration police in the CAN station.
Make sure you have a Chop Letter if you do the train from HKG to CAN.
It is different for the guys/gals assigned to HKG - they have a different type of Visa than non-HKG-based crew members. A HKG-based guy ahead of me in the line sailed right through.
The train ride itself was nice/comfortable/affordable.
