Most Android phones have an option to randomize MAC per WiFi, enabled by default. Maybe you can trigger a new MAC by forgetting the network and reconnecting?

If you enable Developer Options, there is a setting under Networking called "Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization" that randomizes the MAC per connection for networks that have randomization enabled.

Would airport networks have randomization enabled?
